A stalker sends love notes stitched with piano wire. Romance is dead, and so might you be.
Sachiko Kokubu, the beautiful owner of a Tokyo design agency, finds her life disrupted when she receives paper scraps stitched together with piano wire with the message "I know you were meant to marry me." As further messages come she embarks on a nightmare investigation to uncover the identity of her tormentor.

Acting
Kokubu commits to absolute hysteria.

Director
Ataru Oikawa
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
