Okiku and the World

Original title: せかいのおきく

“She does not know 'sekai'”

Directed by Junji Sakamoto

Two rogue vagrants make their living as "manure men", turning the waste from the tenement toilets into fertiliser sold to local farmers. Enter Okiku, the only daughter of a fallen samurai, and amongst the overflowing piles of excrement, a well-nourished love story unfolds.
