Kotoko
Directed by Shinya Tsukamoto
Produced by Kaijyu Theater
A harrowing psychological descent into maternal despair and fractured reality, where mental illness and social judgment compound into a nightmare of isolation and self-destruction.
When a single mother suffers a nervous breakdown, she is suspected of child abuse and her child is taken away. Her mental suffering escalates as she succumbs to her darkest fantasies.
