Suffering of Ninko (2016)

In the historical landscape of Edo-era Japan, Ninko, a devout and strikingly handsome young monk, grapples with an unusual problem: he is a beacon of sexual allure for women and some men, who trail him relentlessly, mirroring the Pied Piper's hypnotic charm. As a Buddhist monk, Ninko strives for righteousness, yet his magnetic appeal fosters a sinful indulgence in sex, leaving him drowning in a sea of remorse. Despite the odds stacked against him, Ninko wrestles with his desires, only to be ambushed in the forest by a seductive specter cloaked in a Noh mask — a corporeal embodiment of his deepest fears and suppressed yearnings. Utterly confounded by the blurred line between reality and illusion, Ninko is faced with a pivotal choice — a firm, unwavering commitment to either path. His journey is a vibrant tapestry of sensuality and spirituality, a dance between desire and devotion that captivates and ensnares, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
