SUMMARY : A modest Tokyo geisha with no special skills other than satisfying men's desires, the young and beautiful Koen is unfulfilled. Free-spirited, Koen naturally breaks free from her privileged status to become an independent woman. However, Koen meets various men ready to offer her a dream life. But what does Koen really want for her future?

ABOUT THE FILM : RELIGIONALLY SIMILAR TO THE CINEMA OF MIKIO NARUSE, WOMEN ARE BORN TWICE IS A DELICATE MELANCHOLIC CHRONICLE. IN THEIR FIRST COLLABORATION, YUZO KAWASHIMA AND AYAKO WAKAO ACCURATELY QUESTION THE CONDITION OF WOMEN, AN ALLEGORY OF POST-WAR JAPAN TORN BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNITY. WITH DARING DIRECTION, YUZO KAWASHIMA CREATES A VIBRANT PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN, MAGNIFIED BY THE CINEMATIC ACTS OF AYAKO WAKAO. "ONE IS NOT BORN A WOMAN, THEY BECOME ONE."
