INTRODUCTION
A lush, gender-bending reimagining of Swan Lake set in a dreamlike EDO. Directed by visionary Leona Hirota, Candy Boys is a splendid romantic spectacle where only "male flowers" bloom. This stylized cinematic experience transforms classical ballet's most famous tragedy into a vibrant, homoerotic fantasy, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern sensibilities.
STORY
In a city gripped by a mysterious plague, a forbidden love ignites between the ethereal courtesan Shiratori Dayu and the popular Furimatsu. Their passion defies a strict "Love Ban," but shadows loom when Oden—a bewitching double of Shiratori—appears to seduce Furimatsu. As betrayal unfolds and a strange disease ravages the city, Shiratori must face a devastating choice: can love survive in a world where reality and deception dissolve?
