 La Boca de Sada Abe depicts the mouth of Sada Abe, a woman whose story was famously portrayed in Nagisa Ōshima’s 1976 film, In the Realm of the Senses.

The film captures a scene from the film where the actress' mouth is shown during a sex. The film is part of a series that reimagines images from cinema that have faced censorship by governments.

In the Realm of the Senses continues to be censored in multiple countries due to its explicit sexual content.
