Poster of movie Singing Behind Screens
a young western student, in an environment extraneous to his usual context, due to a misunderstanding of direction, is led to an out-of-the-way place, to a theater-brothel for customers in search of strong, transgressive emotions. as soon as you cross the threshold of the door illuminated by a chinese lantern, here is immediately introduced to the explicit reality of free seductions. however, at the initial bewilderment, the enchantment of the representation is superimposed little by little and magically, to the point of provoking suggestions and abandonments to be confused with the dream.
