Brothers in Brothel

Japan. A lonely, isolated island. The only link to the mainland is a ferryboat that runs twice a day. But the locals never use it. It brings men to the island, clients visiting one of the many brothels there. They come and they go. The local women imagine what the outside world is like based on what the clients say. The local men laugh at their dreams and prevent the women from leaving. One of the brothels is run by the cruel Tetsuo, helped by his obedient younger brother Tokuta. Four unique prostitutes work there. The only woman who does not sell sex is the owners’ youngest sister, who has been bed-ridden for years. She is more beautiful than anyone else… (Warsaw Film Festival)
