An extraordinarily bizarre period film about physician Hanaoka Seishu, the first doctor to use general anesthetic. Hanaoka is so completely immersed in his work that he has little time for the two women in his life – his mother and long-suffering wife. Vying for his attention, the two women offer themselves as guinea pigs for his surgical trials. (Independent Cinema Office)
