Birds Without Names

Towako lives with the 15-year-older Jinji yet still can't forget about Kurosaki, a guy she broke up with eight years ago. While feeling nothing but disgust for the uncouth and ill-mannered Jinji, she doesn't mind sitting around and living off his low salary. One day Towako meets Mizushima, a married man with a family. Somewhere in his sweet talk she is reminded of Kurosaki. Soon, the two are having an affair. Slowly, Towako begins to notice that Jinji has been stalking her, which leads her to believe he may have had something to do with Kurosaki's disappearance. Not only does she fear for the safety of new lover Mizushima, but for herself. Winner of The Blue Ribbon Awards for Best Director and Best Actor.
