Ballad of Orin
1977 · Movie · 109 min. · Japan
Orin is a blind travelling musician who’s expected to remain celibate. However, when she gets raped her traveling music troupe throws her out for allowing it to happen. Now on her own, she pairs up with an anti-militarist man she meets. Vulnerable, she makes it fairly obvious she’s open to a sexual encounter with him, but surprisingly he never tries to take advantage of her.
