Classic overview

TAIKI, a Japanese art student meets an indigenous female painter in Taiwan. Strongly attracted by the ritual totems depicted by the painter, Taiki ventures into her tribal home and becomes the subject of her works. Ten years later, invited by Taiki, the painter comes to Japan for a residency. Reunite since Taiwan, both are burned with desire and creativity. Not until one night, during the volcanic island’s Raiho-shin (“visiting deities”) rituals, the painter dies mysteriously…. As the investigation goes on, Taiki sadly departs Japan. Some year pass, a serial killing occurs on the same island, and the investigation tracks back to Taiki and the deceased painter. Whilst the mystery remains, Taiki returns and rekindles his creativity through a new encounter. The volcano rumbles and shakes, and the annual Raiho-shin re-approaches, the revelation of the truth also nears.
