Director: Takaomi Ogata

Body Temperature is a unique love story depicting a poignant yet unconventional romance between a man who falls in love with a doll and a woman struggling to reclaim her sense of self. Director Takaomi Ogata infuses his minimalist direction with surging emotions, delicately portraying the pain of loneliness and the yearning for “warmth” within a cold, disconnected world.

The film’s visual landscape—a blend of stillness and sensuality—invites the viewer into an almost dreamlike emotional realm where the act of touching symbolizes healing and self-restoration. As the man’s devotion to the doll intersects with the woman’s psychological unraveling, the film re-examines the boundaries of love, intimacy, and the very feeling of being alive. It is an intimate yet shocking portrait that leaves a quiet, profound resonance, capturing two souls in extreme states as they seek solace in the most unexpected of places.
