If you loved Midsummer's Equation, try Galileo XX

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What Galileo XX is

Kyoto winter. A single snowflake lands on Utsumi Kaoru’s file. The last case arrives as a sealed box containing a child’s music box and a matchbook from an extinct bar. Detective Kaoru’s career closes where Japan’s neon lights flicker out.
