In 1960s Tokyo, Gonda owns a bar in which the gay, cross-dresser, and trans scenes meet. Gonda is in a relationship with the madam of the bar, Leda. As the younger Eddie starts a passionate affair with Gonda, she ignites the jealousy of Leda, unaware of another kind of history between them.
Spiked with hallucinatory visuals and verité documentary techniques, this is a bold, surrealist, and truly transgressive first feature from iconoclastic Japanese director Toshio Matsumoto. This underground docudrama offers us a rare and revelatory immersion into Japan’s 1960s queer and drag culture.
