Overview

A sensual play depicting a couple who reconsider their love for each other while being at the mercy of reality. Director Satoshi Sato, who also wrote the screenplay for his debut film, makes the surrounding characters work effectively, such as the neighbor who acquiesces to his wife who brings a man into his home, and finely depicts the passing and rebirth of a married couple. Kimie (Sawaki Mayumi), who married a monster suit actor, works at a boutique to support her household in place of her husband, who is unable to work due to heart disease. While Kimie, who loves her husband and is in love with a salesman, is unable to disclose her pregnancy, her husband finds out about her affair.
