Set around a remote Buddhist monastery, it features Masao, a young son of a rich merchant who doesn't want to follow his father into business or go to college, preferring to study under a famous Master how to make statues of the Goddess of Mercy. At the same time, his sister Yuri is struggling to find a potential husband, only for it to explode when their horseplay in masks one day leads to an incestuous consummation that brings disaster to all.
This Transient Life (a.k.a. Mujo) may be hard for some viewers to get into. Not only does in delve deep into existentialism, incest and religion, but it does so for about two and a half hours. It got some great cinematography and screenplay, so if you're in the mood for something heavy, check this one out.
