Orochi (1969)

Blurb
Orochi, a strange girl who wakes up for ten years at a time once every century, observes two sisters growing up in the mansion of their wealthy family. The older girl can do no wrong and the younger girl is constantly criticised and berated for not living up to her sibling’s exemplary standards. Years later, Orochi’s spirit returns in the body of another girl. The two sisters are now grown women: the younger sister is a bitter woman, forced to return to her family home after an unsuccessful marriage and the older sister is now a bed-ridden widow with a terminal illness. It seems the younger sister has been made bitter and sadistic by her traumatic childhood but maybe the seemingly angelic older sister isn’t quite as perfect as she seems.

Orochi ist ein sehr seltsames Mädchen und das liegt nicht nur daran, dass sie unsterblich ist. Auf ihrer Reise durch die Epochen erlebt sie die rätselhaftesten Geschichten, beobachtet die Sorgen und Verzweiflung der Menschen, erfährt aber auch von den tiefen Abgründen ihrer Herzen und dem Elend auf der Welt. Mit ihren übernatürlichen Kräften versucht sie den Menschen zu helfen, doch ist nicht immer klar, ob ihre Hilfe die Situation verbessert oder gar verschlimmert.

Testo della bandella:
Orochi ha l’aria di essere una ragazza come tante, ma l’irrefrenabile desiderio che la spinge ad alleviare le sofferenze di chiunque incontri lungo il suo cammino ha qualcosa di sovrannaturale e sinistro … Perché, malgrado le sue buone intenzioni, si ritrova sempre a peggiorare le cose?
