Lost Paradise
Rather lovers in hell than alone in heaven.
Directed by Yoshimitsu Morita
Produced by KADOKAWA Shoten, Toei Company
A melancholic exploration of two married people finding forbidden passion in an affair, caught between desire and the moral weight of their choices.
Kuki is a veteran newspaper reporter who has been shuffled off to a book-development branch and finds escape in an illicit relationship with Rinko. Together they find the passion no longer present in their marriages.
