It’s 1940, and the population of Japan is divided over its entry into World War II. Satoko, the wife of a fabric merchant, is devoted to her husband but is beginning to suspect he’s up to something. Soon she allows herself to be drawn into a game in which she enigmatically conceals her intentions.

VIBE

A slow-burn, atmospheric thriller set against the backdrop of impending war. It feels like a hushed, tense drama where suspicion festers beneath polite society, leaving you questioning every glance and whispered word. A deeply unsettling, yet captivating, experience.
