Storyboard
A member of the jieitai ("Self-Defense Force"; i.e. Japanese military) is on leave and finds a woman giving birth in a graveyard in the former Yoshiwara district. He takes her to an inn to gove birth, and stays on a few days as she recovers, but becomes fascinated with the strange people he meets there, particularly the owner, who visits a house in his courtyard every day to talk and give food to his mother. He says she is very sick and can't leave bed, but no one else has ever been inside or seen her.
Executive In Charge Of Production
‘다이쇼 로망스’ 3부작의 첫 번째 작품으로 우치다 핫켄의 소설을 원작으로 했다. 영화는 독일어 교수인 아오치의 여정을 따라가며 현실과 환상의 경계를 허문다. 내러티브보다는 스타일 자체에 집중하는 세이준 특유의 미학이 극명하게 드러나는 작품이다.
