A dark, intimate exploration of power dynamics and sexual submission between strangers meeting online, grounded in trauma and psychological complexity.

Yoriko Jun turned Miyuki Fukashi’s sensual novel with the same name into a movie. An ordinary office lady and a boy meet on the Internet, they get into a master-slave relationship and are drowned in a world of pleasure.
