По течению (1956)

"Otsuta" provides a rare, personal look inside Tokyo's famous geisha houses and the lives of the women who live there. When debt threatens her geisha house, Tsuta, Otsuta's resolve to protect this ancient tradition clashes with her daughter Katsuyo, who wants a different future for herself and the family business. The film reveals the hidden aspects of a geisha's daily life, beyond their client performances, showing the complexities and emotional depth of their world in a rapidly changing society. Following Otsuta's strong will and Katsuyo's desire for change, the story explores the conflict between tradition and modernity, family obligation and personal dreams, and the difficulty of preserving cultural heritage over time.
