Berlin, 1888: Japanese university student Ota falls in love with 16-year-old dancer Ellis. The unconventional affair stirs up a scandal that even reaches Japan. Mori OGAI’s eponymous novel with an autobiographical touch was the basis for this German-Japanese co-production, which Masahiro SHINODA shot in a still divided Berlin.
