Their starting point is the novel House of the Sleeping Beauties by Japanese author and Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata. The book recounts the several visits by the old Mister Eguchi to a strange, tender brothel, where older men can spend the night beside the warm bodies of sedated, very young girls. It is a story about goodbyes, old age, and death.
