El Romance y la Culpa

Tokyo dusk. A discarded Hello Kitty doll. Married Taeko quietly suffocates, until a lurid crime scene awakens her senses. Leaving polite society, she descends into an underworld of erotic performance, shadowed by a more experienced guide. Sono’s clinical tour is not for the faint of heart.
