The Demon
“They'd be better off with strangers.”
Drama
When Sokichi stops providing his long-time lover Kikuyo enough money to pay for the care of their three young children, Kikuyo leaves the children with Sokichi - and his very surprised and angry wife Oume - and disappears.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at the devastating consequences of poverty and greed. This film feels heavy, exposing the brutal realities faced by those trapped in cycles of desperation. It's a stark and unforgettable experience.
