Three sisters, one house, zero boundaries — pink cinema at its most unhinged.
The youngest sister Miyo is an illustrator but she is a shut-in. She does not socialize with anybody. The middle sister Mizuki is working at a bar. She gives all of the money she earns to her boyfriend, who is actually married. One day, the oldest sister Hoshimi, who is a painter, returns home. Hoshimi brings different men to the house, and has sex with them. The two younger sisters are thrown off by her behavior, until they find the reason for Hoshimi's frustration.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pink films (pinku eiga) peaked in 1970s-80s Japan as low-budget genre cinema; by 2006 they were niche artifacts made for direct-to-video markets and specialty theaters.
Director Yasufumi Tanaka made over 100 pink films; this was reportedly shot in four days on a budget that wouldn't cover one day of a mainstream Japanese drama.
