Set in the Taisho era, which might be regarded as Japan's Hippie Phase, Hana no ran is a story about fashionable people without impulse control. Much of the action centers on a popular woman writer, the real-life poet Akiko Yosano, and her experiences among the literati of early 20th century Japan. Because of her independent, anti-war and often erotic poetry, she was a lightning rod for revolutionaries and other extremists, many of whom were destined to glamorous, yet ultimately pointless, deaths. The closest parallels might be the Byron/Shelley group or the people drawn to the Beat Generation.
Two people separated by time and space must unravel their tangled history before the world comes to an end.

While it's said that eyes are the windows to the soul, The Blind Date is a story of how blindness sometimes bares that soul. Raghav and Najma, lovers of diametrically opposite faith, have a relationship that speaks volumes of their love and connection with each other. They have seen, ironically, dreams of a future together. Lived experiences of enjoying sunsets at the beach, cherished good food and made promises, within the scope of their handicap. A twist in the story compels Raghav to take a harsh decision, not because of lack of faith in Najma's intentions, but because he loves her enough. Love doesn't mean to possess, it needs to be set free. A heartwarming story of love and sacrifice, through the eyes in blindness.
Two young men meet during a day at the seaside. A reflection of the concerns that give way to maturity, of the fleetingness of summer and, sometimes, of love.
Four tales about unfaithfulness. The story takes, almost completely, the form of theatre and rations the action in four acts perfectly divided one from the other, which build an effective reflection about unfaithfulness. However, as it is usual in Jaime Humberto Hermosillo’s cinema, where on many times the sexual tension defines the characters’ psyche who become more complex and multidimensional, the approach is not subject to the moral margins, already outworn by the melodrama.
