The documentary weaves together vignettes from Taiji Tonoyama’s personal life with excerpts from his own films, punctuated by Nobuko Otowa’s direct‑to‑camera monologue that addresses Tonoyama as if speaking to him personally. Through intimate recollections it examines his chronic alcoholism, a series of sexual relationships, and foregrounds his collaborations with director Shindo.
