Telephone help center counsellor Rinko (Asuka Kurosawa) receives an envelope containing compromising photos of herself as well as a cellphone one day, & soon after that is called on that phone by Iguchi (Shinya Tsukamoto), one of her clients she kept from committing suicide, who forces her to some perverse games in exchange for the photos, to - as he puts it - fullfill her own desires. These games consist of her changing her look from stuffy wageslave into miniskirtwearing vamp, takiong her panties off & walking around in public with a vibrator between her legs, to be remote controlled by Iguchi. After she complied she gets the negatives back & all seems over - until Iguchi finds the one negative he has forgotten to return, & finds the first signs of breastcancer showing on it - he himself being in the last phases of the disease anyways. For her to get the photo back he thus forces her to go to the doctor (he is not evil after all). The doctor confirms Iguchi's suspicions, but might still be able to stop the cancer when removing her breast. When Rinko tells this to her estranged husband Shigehiko (Yuji Kohtari), though, he grows mad & won't hear about it. So Rinko decides to get back at him & employs Iguchi to her own ends (without him knowing of couse), first having him abduct Shigehiku & showing him a perverse show  of violence to intimid him, then - after setting him free again - sending him provocative photos of Rinko, making him follow her in secret. & so Shigohiko sees her dressing up as a vamp again, with miniskirt & all, then starting the vibrator she again has between her legs in the open & undressing while masturbating, with Iguchi photographing her, & realizing she hasn't had her breast removed. Upon realizing that, Iguchi takes his anger out on Shigehiko, who after all is responsible for Rinko not having had that important operation, & abducts & even almost kills him in one of the very same shows he made him see earlier. Only after Shigehiko going through hell can he & Rinko reconcile & he accept her without one breast ...

 

A blend of art movie, social statement - after all, this is about an estranged couple of the professional middle class - &, let's face it, schoolboy fantasy, which does actually work as an entertaining movie since these 3 factors are carefully balanced out & the movie never becomes too brainheavy, too sleazy or too caught up in its own pictures, instead does stay focussed on the story, that still manages to have a few pleasant twists & turns.
