Dolls
ドールズ
2002 · 1h 54m · Drama, Romance · Japan · Rated 12 (DE)
Three stories of never-ending love.
Dolls takes puppeteering as its overriding motif, which relates thematically to the action provided by the live characters. Chief among those tales is the story of Matsumoto and Sawako, a young couple whose relationship is about to be broken apart by the former's parents, who have insisted their son take part in an arranged marriage to his boss' daughter.
