A room in a fancy downtown apartment. The evening orgy kicks off with eight men and women meeting for the first time, including an unemployed guy who pays the 20,000 yen party fee with money from his parents, and a female college student whose run-of-the-mill appearance hides a voracious sexual appetite.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adapted from Miura's own 2005 stage hit, the film captures Japan's 'lost generation' economic anxiety with brutal specificity.
The 20,000 yen fee mirrors Japan's fuzoku sex industry pricing, but Miura strips away fantasy to expose how money corrupts even the pretense of connection.
