A Courtesan with Flowered Skin

あざみさんのこと 誰でもない恋人たちの風景 vol.2
The Cowards who Looked to the Sky
6.5/10
Based on the award-winning novel of the same name, this boldly erotic yet movingly tender portrait of a group of vulnerable, variously wounded people — a depressed housewife, her high-school-aged lover, and his best friend, who is struggling to provide for himself and his senile grandmother — whose intersecting lives yield both sorrow and a fragile, yet enduring, hope for a brighter future.
