Description

Set in post-war Japan, the film explores the life of a struggling pornographer who balances his underground business with personal and societal challenges. As he navigates the complexities of censorship, morality, and family responsibilities, the story delves into the blurred lines between art and exploitation. The protagonist's interactions reflect a broader critique of contemporary societal norms, highlighting the tension between traditional values and modern desires. Through a darkly comedic and satirical lens, the narrative exposes the contradictions and hypocrisies inherent in both the adult film industry and Japanese society during the 1960s.
