A man seemingly detached from society starts following UFO's. Unidentified Followed Objects. Then starts following a woman who dresses in all black wearing dark sunglasses. It is difficult to give more out without it containing spoilers. All of this to the background of blood itself as if it's a character although you rarely see any. Plus it is learning more of all the characters involved as everyone has their own story that develops and that is the enjoyment in watching this film.

This is one of the highlights from Director Hisayasu Satõ. The entire cast, especially Satõ regular Kiyomi Ito are all excellent. The story is definitely dark. But the story and characters are more complex for a film just over an hour. I found my mind working overtime to better understand everything going on. For a movie that moves relatively slow, it seemed to go by quick.

This fits the definition of a Pink Eiga. Several sex scenes and nudity. Interesting enough it didn't feel like a Pink Eiga to me. It felt like a very engaging drama.

I highly recommend this film if you like dramas.
