Kyoto, My Mother's Place plot

Subdued documentary portrait of Ôshima's mother and his native city of Kyoto. Through old photographs, classical paintings and contemporary recordings, Ôshima traces the history of Kyoto, a city that was once the capital of Japan and with its many temples still a religious center - largely past the devastation of the Second World War gone. It is also the city that forced his mother into a conservative pattern and which he hated from an early age for that reason.
