Takehiro Nakajima directs this romantic
drama about a love triangle between two men and a young woman. The
film centers on Sayoko (Misa Shimizu of Unagi fame) who works as
a voice-over artist for television cartoons. One day she happens
upon a lithe young man and his middle-aged lover in mid-kiss. Something
about the incident fascinates her, and soon she's frequenting gay
bars until she finds the couple once again. The young man is a designer
named Go (Takehiro Murata) while the older man is married and named
Terasaki (Takeo Nakahara). When Sayoko learns that Go's ailing mother
has moved in with him, disrupting the couple's usual tryst, she
offers them the services of her place. For a while, things go beautifully.
As the two guys go at it upstairs, Sayoko merrily thumbs through
art books. Then Terasaki's wife gets wind of her husband's extramarital
activities and storms Sayoko's pad. Terasaki is forced to dump Go
and the lad consequently goes into a deep funk. In an attempt to
cheer him up, she tries to set him up with a hunky former sailor.
Instead, the sailor rapes and impregnates Sayoko. Years later, the
three meet again. |
