Synopsis "Thirst for Love "

After the early death of her philandering husband, Etsuko moves into her father-in-law's house, where she numbly submits to the old man's advances. But soon she finds herself in love with the young servant Saburo. Tormented by his indifference, yet invigorated by her desire, she makes her move, with catastrophic consequences.

Yukio Mishima (literary name) was born as Kimitake Hiroaka in Tokyo in 1925 and committed suicide in 1970 in protest against the end of traditional Japan. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize, but it was after his death that he achieved international fame. Mishima lived, like so many Japanese of his generation, the clash of two cultural models: the Western and the ancient and own of Japan. A prolific and diverse writer, Confessions of a Mask, his first notable success, made him famous at just twenty-four years old.
