Watching this trailer about a woman on the verge of a psychotic break and overstepping the edge displays just how much of lifes daily stresses can some times be more than one person can take before they break down.
“Kotoko” opens in Japan on April 7, 2012.
A single mother (Cocco) becomes afflicted with double vision. Taking care of her newborn baby becomes a nightmare as the mother also becomes paranoid. The only time the mother doesn’t see double is when she sings. She also finds solace in cutting herself, allowing her blood to drip free and able to feel alive. A terrifying nervous breakdown ensues. When things spiral out of control, her baby is taken away.
She then rides a bus and sings to herself. A man (Shinya Tsukamoto) sitting nearby listens to her wonderful voice. He begins to stalk her. The man is an award winning novelist who has fallen in love with the woman. They begin a volatile relationship. The woman’s paranoia and vision slowly improves. Eventually her baby is returned, but her vision worsens.
