Ryosuke HASHIGUCHI’s wonderfully subversive tragicomedy observes the behavior of ordinary people in different group situations in six psychologically outstanding episodes. Feelings of loneliness, distance, discrimination and the constriction of social norms become apparent for all. Only the “zentai”, full-body tights, offer freedom and escape from appearance and gender.

Director biography
Ryosuke HASHIGUCHI, born in Nagasaki Prefecture in 1962, made his first 8mm films while still in high school. After studying film in Osaka, he started working as a director of TV productions. He won the Grand Prize at PIA Film Festival in 1989 for his short film A SECRET EVENING. Since his successful feature film debut with A TOUCH OF FEVER (1992), his films have been constantly shown at international festivals like Cannes, Berlin, and Rotterdam.
