“An absurdist tone and often nonsensical, French New Wave-inspired postmodernism … What does it all mean? … Who can say? Perhaps it isn’t very important, but Kurosawa certainly has his fun while exploring the innocence/experience divide.”
—Asian Movie Pulse

From Kiyoshi Kurosawa (CURE, PULSE) comes the story of Akiko, a naive country girl who receives a big‑city education when she enters university in search of her high school crush. She soon discovers that the once‑innocent freshman has become a sex‑obsessed libertine who never attends class. Meanwhile, she draws the attention of Professor Hirayama (Juzo Itami), determined to theorize the very concept of shame.
