Description
[Machine Translation] Since the release of "SAYURI" in 2006, actress Kaori Momoi moved her base to Los Angeles and has been active worldwide. In this long-awaited second directorial effort, Momoi joins forces with Nakamura Fuminori, a young literary guru who has released a string of bestsellers since winning the Akutagawa Prize in 2005 for "A Child in the Ground". Nakamura is also highly acclaimed overseas, having won the David Goodis Award for his contribution to the crime fiction genre in the United States. Momoi's latest work is a suspenseful short story titled "Fire," in which a prostitute who once committed arson confesses her cursed life through a conversation with a psychiatrist. Directed, written by, and starring Momoi himself, the film had its world premiere in the Forum section of the Berlin International Film Festival this past February, captivating audiences with its overwhelming power. The film has attracted enthusiastic offers from film festivals around the world. Momoi's one-of-a-kind personality has been vividly revealed through her experience on the world stage. There is a certain life in this film. One day, Sanada, a psychiatrist working at a clinic in the U.S., is out shopping with his family. One day, while out shopping with his family, he encounters a woman in an elevator. Her voice echoes in his mind, and Sanada imagines that he is interviewing her at the clinic. Her story, however, is more spectacular than Sanada could have imagined. Her parents died in a house fire when she was a child, she was bullied at school, and her marriage partner cheated on her. After her divorce, she spent her days living in debt while working as a prostitute in the United States. As Sanada listens to her stories, she finds herself drawn into them, comparing herself to one man after another. Her story escalates and takes an unexpected turn...
