Trailer for upcoming Japanese film "Love and Other Cults"

Born in a regional city, a young girl named Ai is sent to a cult commune by her religious maniac mother and lives there for seven long years. After the cult is exposed by the police, Ai starts a new, normal life going to a regular middle school, but can't find a place to fit in normal society. Ai drops out to continue finding her path in life, first living with a rock-bottom delinquent family, then moving on to be part of a middle-class family, all along trying to find her place in this world. The only person who understands Ai is Ryota, another drop-out and cast-off from society. Ryota finds his path in a shady world of delinquents while Ai ends up working in the sex industry. Two teens' purity gets swallowed up by the urban jungle of a big regional city. A black comedy depicting lives of modern youth and their struggles in a place where there is no way out.

Director Eiji Uchida's previous films "Lowlife Love" and "Greatful Dead" were a great contribution to Japan independent cinema. They were both released by Third Window Films and so will be "Love and Other Cults". Leading roles are played by Sairi Ito (Lesson of the Evil) and Kenta Suga (Always Sunset on Third Street).
