A passionate telling of the story of Sada Abe, a woman whose affair with her master led to an obsessive and ultimately destructive sexual relationship.
An obsessive sexual fixation spirals into a ritualistic pursuit of absolute intimacy that defies all social boundaries. This uninhibited depiction of a real-life affair strips away every layer of restraint to reveal the terrifying edge of desire.
