Ai, a girl who is neglected by her religious mother to the point of abuse, and finally dumped into a weird love-cult. Growing up in the cult for seven years, Ai is adored and worshipped by everyone, and life is good. But when the cult is disbanded after its leaders are arrested, Ai is woefully unprepared for living in the real world. As a teenager, she quickly ends up in a life of drug use, prostitution, foster homes, street gangs, and yakuza, only finding a personal foothold for herself when she becomes a porn star, adored and worshipped once more.
"Spamflix is striving to bring to its catalog some Japanese independent movies, introducing them to a new audience. 'Love & Other Cults' is an example of this. The story is about a teenager who can't find her place in society after the cult she was part of was dismantled by the police - and, in the process, finds a rebellious boy with whom she gets involved."
