Koibito-tachi wa nureta

Hoping to leave behind his past in Tokyo, Katsu returns to his hometown where he works at a porn cinema. But when the local people recognize him, he persistently denies his identity, even when he is confronted to his friends or his mother. Entangled in a web of dangerous sexual encounters involving his schoolmate, Mitsuo, and his girlfriend, Yoko, Katsu starts an affair with Yoshie, the cinema owner's wife until he finally confesses his secret: once he killed a man for money in Tokyo. Will his past come back to haunt him? (Locarno Festival)
