The story of the relationship between a college student whose relationship with her boyfriend is going nowhere and a bisexual medical artist who makes prosthetic body parts.
It's always liberating with films like Kakera which doesn't feel the need to limit itself to heteronormativity. I've heard that the Japanese are decades behind in terms of sexuality and stigma concerning relationships outside the norm.
Director Momoko Ando is greatly aware of the prejudice in our society towards different kinds of sexual orientations and mirrors that with characters you'd be happy to slap in the face and one in particular raises some problematic issues due to how he's allowed to continue, but that trash bag aside, Kakera portrays two women with different experiences who're discovering a strong attraction between themselves.
Genre: Drama
