Young Nagiko Synopsis:Drowning by Numbers: Tired of her husband's philandering ways, the mother of two daughters drowns her husband. With the reluctant help of the local coroner, the murder is covered up. Her daughters are having similar problems with relationships, and tend to follow their mother's example, and the coroner becomes reluctantly involved in their murders as well. As the plot progresses, visual and spoken numbers appear in the scenes, counting from one to one hundred. The Baby of M�con: A movie about the corruption in all levels of society. A baby is born from a supposed-to-be virgin woman, so a chain of hysteria about divine intervention in the birth takes place. The Pillow Book: As a young girl in Japan, Nagiko's father paints characters on her face, and her aunt reads to her from 'The Pillow Book', the diary of a 10th-century lady-in-waiting. Nagiko grows up, obsessed with books, papers, and writing on bodies, and her sexual odyssey (and the creation of her own Pillow Book) is a 'parfait m�lange' of classical Japanese, modern Chinese, and Western film images.
