The finale to the trilogy is the most beautifully symbolic of the entire series. This broken, salvaged family torn apart by pedophilia and human trafficking began a new life. Instead of revealing to his young friend the truth behind his sisters long trips to town, Pico invited Chico to run away with him to the city he had once lived in with his parents. She was comforted by the sight, and masturbated to it repeatedly.Ĭhico's sister vanished the next day and never returned. She cowered in the hallway crying, until she was calmed by the pleasured sounds of her younger brother having sex with Pico. When she came home, she had been beaten and battered by her previous client. One day, while sister was out with a client, Chico showed off her wardrobe to Pico, and they started to fool around innocently in her clothes. In a desperate, childish attempt to regain what he had lost, he taught Chico about the world of pleasure and had sex with him over and over.Ĭhico, who was already lonely from his parents deaths and the pain of his sister slowly succumbing to her mental illness, imprinted on Pico instantly. The two became close, and Pico remembered how nice it was to have a friend. He recognized the woman as one of the prostitutes from near his grandfathers house, but played along with Chico, unable to tell the younger boy the truth behind his sisters nightly escapades. One day, he came across the home of a boy about his age, and his older sister. He wandered the countryside, earning pocket money by selling his body to anyone who would spare him a room for the night.

Pico, already homeless after 'grandfather's' death, found himself alone in the world after his friend never returned for him. Whether or not he actually contracted the disease, he never returned the following summer. Whether Mokkun truly harbored any feelings whatsoever toward Pico is debatable. "See you next time" was the boy's unanswered reply. Mokkun promises to return when summer comes again.Ī year passes, and the last flowery words Pico heard him speak still ring in his mind: After this, Pico truly falls in love with the older man, and they consummate their 'love' on the beach. Though he was horrified, Mokkun appears to be sympathetic. Pico told him everything, and Mokkun listened. What Pico did not plan on was Mokkun finding him, and rescuing him from his despair. He planned on cutting his hair (a symbol of grieving) and killing himself in the ocean. This way, he could avoid Mokkun without ever revealing what he may have done. This is the reason behind Pico's flight near the end-When he knowingly asked Mokkun if he loved him or not, he pretended to get mad and ran off. He didn't want to do that to his only friend in the world. Pico knew that his 'grandfather' cursed the prostitute that infected him every day, and took it out on him. He didn't hurt him, at least, physically hurt him. The tragedy behind this film lies in Pico desperately clinging to his illusion of friendship-Mokkun was different. Unfortunately, befriending Mokkun would prove to be identical to the ways 'grandfather' and his customers 'played' with him. Yet all he wanted nothing more than to return to his family, to have a friend to play with and become a child again. Pico, an innocent victim of sexual abuse, was now a carrier as well. When he found out that he had the disease, 'grandfather' kidnapped the neighbors child he had long fantasized over to service him in a vacation town for the remaining summers he had left.

He is a carrier of a particularly deadly form of AIDS, which he contracted from a young male prostitute on a trip to Tokyo last year. This man, as you may have guessed, is not Picos real grandfather. Perhaps there is more to that unsettling feeling you have after viewing 'Pico' than the pornography itself. What is not explained on-screen is WHY Pico is working for his grandfather, forced to wear a womens apron and serve older men at ten years old. Sounds like a perfectly normal, morally skewed loli/shota story, right? After getting to know the shy grandson of the elderly restaurant owner, he dresses little Pico in drag and bangs him anyway over the course of this short summer.

Tsutomu (Later nicknamed 'Mokkun' by the titular Pico) comes to realize that while being a pedophile is perfectly legal in Japan, being a homosexual is not. That was a little boy-a ten-year-old little boy, at that. This is the first of the trilogy in which a young adult named Tsutomu encounters a beautiful young girl swimming in the town he has come to visit one summer. The "analysis" below makes a lot of assumptions (especially the part about the older sister) but I thought it was entertaining
