Officially invited to The 17th Tokyo International Film Festival
In 1838, on the penal colony of Hachijojima, the ex-courtesan Toyogiku, convicted of arson in the capital, holds court over a motley assembly of criminals and corrupt officials. There are neither cells nor guards, and the only rule is that everyone is on their own to survive. Toyogiku herself exploits the only currency available for her use: her own sexuality, in give-and-take bargaining reducing life to the absolute essentials - essentials fuelled with simmering, unreleased passions. She and a new arrival, the charismatic and stoic Kisaburo, fall in love, a love which drives them to freedom - and into a tragedy of epic proportions. Hatred, desire, love, life and death, the joy and sorrow of being alive: human drama unfolds in the harshest of atmospheres on this solitary island in a distant sea.
Directed by Eiji Okuda
Cast:Keiko Matsuzaka, Kazuhiro Nishijima, Mayu Ozawa
