Old Narcissus

Tamura’s first feature film presents an intergenerational love story between Yamazaki, a 74-year-old eccentric artist, and Leo, a young and lonely sex worker. Through this love, Yamazaki finally comes to terms with and begins to forge the relationships he failed to carve with his friends and family during his youth. Old Narcissus delves into the history and current situation of Japanese society, taboos and stigmas.

Tender and touching, this love story humorously unveils the challenges of growing old with a youthful spirit and a society that cannot keep up with the passion of an artist and his unconventional life.
