Director: SAITO Hisahi

A film depicting 4 young people bewildered and distressed over love and sex. Yumeka has been making collages in the atelier left to her by her grandmother, but lives a life devoid of real feelings. Meanwhile, Yumeka's friend from her university days, Tomoko, suffers from an obsession with cleanliness and is unable to have relations with men. Concerned for Tomoko, Yumeka proposes to her friend Takaya a tryst with Tomoko, but Tomoko is unreceptive to Takaya. Soon after, Tomoko begins working at a softcore porn theater on Yumeka's recommendation and meets a young, regular customer named kyoichi who prostitutes himself for money.... Director SAITO Hisashi brings to life an original script written by up-and-coming screenwriter ARAI Misa. It depicts the deep feelings between two awkward women when it comes to relations with other people. The wholehearted performances of the two heroines by NAWATA Canon and NAKAGAMI En within SAITO's characteristic long takes are splendid.
