Nanami: The Inferno of First Love

“What happens to innocence in the inferno of first love?”

Nobody in the film will say what happened to Shun, the teenage goldsmith, or why a psychiatrist is now part of his life. He falls for Nanami (Kuniko Ishii), a young nude model, and Susumu Hani lets the two of them circle each other while the grown-ups around them, Shun's stepmother among them, hold back what they know. Nanami is carrying a past of her own, and she is the one who has to live with what loving him costs.
