Kazuko is fascinated by the mysterious Tamaki immediately after their first meeting. But Tamaki, who uses her fake cast leg like a chic accessory, only makes fun of Kazuko and lets her feel her unpredictability. But when Kazuko gets to know her better, the relationship begins to turn around. A clever psychological game begins. Already in his highly acclaimed debut film MOONLIGHT WHISPERS, director Akihiko SHIOTA showed his preference for very special relationships in which passion, power and being at the mercy of others play an important role.
