Author Nakata lives with the painful memory of his wife’s death, which occurred several years ago. Was it an accident, or was it suicide? The doubts linger on.
In an attempt to free himself from guilt, Nakata gives up on marriage and the idea of becoming a father. Thus begins his obsessive journey into sexual exploration, which he documents in his book “The Dark Room” — a philosophical essay on sexuality, reproduction, and the fate of humanity.
