Mari Terashima
27 mins
In a secluded corner of the world, there stands a chamber of sweet nectar, where the Mistress imparts the secrets of love to all who come.
This room is easily accessible to all.
But no one wants to enter it.
One day, a young man finds himself drawn to it despite better knowledge.
He has been reincarnated for thousands of years and now, finally, exists in this room at this moment.
Pain has turned into sweet love, a kind of rooted love, and through it, he becomes one with the Mother, with himself, and with the universe.
This film was produced with the great cooperation of the manga artist Milk Morizono.
I would like to thank Miss Morizono from the bottom of my heart.
