The movie i wasn't expecting to exist

Rule 34: if something exists, there's porn of it.

I'm not sure this movie could be considered porn (it's obviously not graphic) but it's the closest approximation to a Yukio Mishima's unhinged suicide/golpe's porn parody we have (for now).

Weirdly enough, the story isn't entirely stupid and balances between comedy and grotesque quite efficiently. Everything screams low budget but the acting is good imho and the script has some clever moments.
