An entry in a series focused on "love" and "erotica," in which six creators from multiple fields -- from film and TV to direct-to-video and manga -- compete. Director Zeze Takahisa, known for his bold undertakings, including Heaven's Story, presents an unabashed depiction of the tormented heart of a woman who lives in the countryside. Yuko (Ezawa Midori) meets the man (Kawai Ryunosuke) suspected of leaking inappropriate pictures of her younger sister having an affair onto the Internet. She agrees to let him take nude photos of her on the condition that he stays away from her sister.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 'Love & Eros' anthology, this slot was typically reserved for exploitation — Zeze subverted expectations by making genuine art within studio-mandated sleaze.
Ezawa was primarily a pink film veteran; her casting deliberately blurs the line between actor and character's compromised agency.
