In the early 1960s Butoh dance exploded onto the Japanese stage. Sexy, violent, humorous and nihilistic, Butoh ridiculed and mocked traditional conventions of beauty and behaviour. This documentary pierces the mystery of a dance movement adored by the West and largely ignored by the Japanese. It uses archival and modern footage, and interviews with specialists to throw light on the essential Butoh themes of darkness, violence and eroticism to get to the core of the nature of Butoh.

The film depicts the lurid and violently erotic dreams of a writer, his wife and his sister, after having spent a night out drinking and visiting sex shows.
