Synopsis
Hero of the Red Light District
A successful textile industrialist from the provinces, who is beloved by his employees for his kindness, cannot find a wife because of a disfiguring birthmark on his face. Even the courtesans in Yoshiwara refuse to entertain him, until an indentured peasant prostitute, Tamarazu, takes the unsavoury assignment and treats him with brash tenderness.
Trango
Inspired by one of the greatest achievements in climbing history, mountaineer Robert Caspersen and his team embark on an expedition to the Himalayas, to become the first to summit one of the world's tallest rock faces, Trango Pulpit.
