In the heart of a transitioning Japan, a woman named Kinuko struggles to find her place in a world where honor and dignity contrast with desire and sexual freedom. From her childhood, Kinuko has witnessed the oppression and expectations placed on women, leading her to experience her own series of loves and heartbreaks. As she grows, she becomes a geisha, where she discovers both the glamorous and the dark side of seduction.
In her life, Kinuko encounters several men, each representing different facets of love and passion. However, society, with its strict norms and judgments, looms over her like a shadow, forcing her to make difficult choices that challenge her personal desires. Throughout her journey, Kinuko begins to question traditional values and fights for her autonomy, seeking a balance between her heart and her position in society.
With cinematography that captures the essence of the era and an evocative soundtrack, the film tells the internal struggle of a woman who longs to live fully, even if it means breaking away from the expectations that surround her. Thus, Kinuko becomes a symbol of resistance and desire, leaving a deep mark on those who cross her path and demonstrating that, often, true love lies in finding freedom within oneself.
