The Idiot

Adapted from Dostoevsky’s novel, the story follows Kinji Kameda, a gentle ex-soldier scarred by war, as he arrives in snowy Hokkaidō. He becomes entangled with the disgraced Taeko Nasu, the proud Ayako, and his possessive friend Akama. Kameda’s saintly compassion exposes everyone’s wounds, steering the quartet toward jealousy, violence, and inexorable tragedy.
