Japan2019 87min Color World Premiere

Synopsis

A suave beautician offers women the chance to correct what they feel nature has gotten wrong. Governed by his own morality, he employs a deadly contraption to bring them in line with his unnatural notions of beauty.

Program Note

In an age where the value of a human is based on their beauty, some people try to create a new self through the use of plastic surgery. Manriki does the procedure for them, but he pursues his own aesthetic value. Takumi Saitoh takes a unique path as a model and actor with his grotesque yet jovial performance as a killer. (KIM Bong-seok)
