Enclosed Pain

After several years as an assistant to Shunji Iwai, Isao Yukisada too became a fashionable director for the young audience. He rose to stardom with the dynamic mix of social critique and youth romance Go. Similarly to his best works, Enclosed Pain carefully balances sleek visuals with a sensitive insight into the emotionally troubled characters. This time the story revolves around the touchy topic of child abuse. An up-and-coming female writer and her younger brother are tied together by memories of their past, but she wants to escape her memories and starts writing them down.
