Inu-Oh (JFF)

Born deformed and grotesque, Inu-Oh is shunned by society and family alike until he becomes friends with Tomoya, a blind biwa musician. Mutually encouraged by each other`s passion for performance, the pair put on spectacular noh theatre shows recounting forgotten stories of the heike, the defeated enemies of the ruling family. Their popularity soon incurs the wrath of jealous performing troupes and censorship officials.
