Shoujyo: An Adolescent

Tomokawa (Eiji Okuda who also is the director) is a perverted cop who roams the streets of his small town sleeping with married woman and playing the fool with the mildly retarded Sakesuma (Akira Shoji). But all this changes when the teenage Yuko (Mayu Ozawa), Sakesuma's sister, seduces him and they discover an innate connection. A version of Lolita with a much more optimistic turn and bizzare twists that only the Japanese can provide.
