World-renowned artist TAMURA Shuzo (ISHIZAKA Koji) celebrates his career with a major exhibition. When one of his works is exposed as a forgery, it throws the strictly codified art world of high-society into chaos.

As the media frenzy grows, the body of a mysterious tattooed woman is discovered in Hokkaido. The investigation uncovers a link between the two incidents in the shape of TSUYAMA Ryuji (MOTOKI Masahiro), once hailed as a prodigy and Shuzo’s rival, who vanished in disgrace years earlier.

Anna (KOIZUMI Kyoko), formerly Ryuji’s lover and now Shuzo’s wife, travels to Hokkaido and reunites with the man she thought she had lost forever. However, Ryuji seems to be deeply involved in murky artistic activities…

A collaboration between veteran film director WAKAMATSU Setsuro and acclaimed screenwriter KURAMOTO So, this film captivates with stunning cinematography while posing profound questions about who determines the value of beauty and what we ultimately seek at the end of our lives. MOTOKI Masahiro’s portrayal of the solitary genius painter, who devotes his heart and soul to the pursuit of true beauty, is nothing short of extraordinary. An all-cast production.
