A deeply unsettling psychological thriller that uses the veneer of romantic longing to lure viewers into a nightmare of deception, sadism, and psychological torment.

Seven years after the death of his wife, widower Shigeharu seeks advice on how to find a new wife from a colleague. Taking advantage of their position as a film company, they stage an audition. Interviewing a series of women, Shigeharu is enchanted by the quiet Asami. But soon things take a twisted turn as Asami isn’t what she seems to be.
