The story here is notably labyrinthine. Nami, a photographer for a magazine, is assigned to capture stills from an erotic movie that features intense rape scenes. During one sequence involving a teacher and a schoolgirl, she becomes increasingly disturbed, recalling a similar trauma from her past. She flees the set after Muraki, the editor of the movie, tries to comfort her, only for her to realize he resembles her past assailant. She seeks solace with her lesbian bartender friend Chihiro, and the two sleep together. The next day, however, Nami visits her again and finds another woman in her apartment.

In 1985, director Shinji Somai (“Typhoon Club) would make his only entry within Nikkatsu's Roman porno line titled “Love Hotel”. While there are distinct dips in quality in the studio's series, Somai's contribution may be considered one of the best, touching upon a wide array of topics such as toxic relationships and suicide. Japanese critics also thought highly of the movie as it won five awards at the 7th Yokohama Film Festival and also an in-house award at Nikkatsu for Best Film of the Year.
