Spider Lilies
A daring portrait of forbidden love.
Directed by Zero Chou
Produced by 3rd Vision Films
An intimate, melancholic portrait of two women drawn together by desire and symbol, where passion threatens to unearth painful memories and destabilize carefully constructed solitude.
When Jade, a web-cam girl, visits Takeko's tattoo studio she becomes entranced with the image of the spider lily and with Takeko as well. In order to get closer to the object of her desire, Jade asks Takeko to give her the same lily tattoo, challenging Takeko's monastic existence and opening up memories which threaten to tear the two women apart.
