The Synopsis
Shotaro, the company president, is fishing by the lake, where he meets the sickly Mayumi and her mother, Misako. Mayumi and Shotaro love each other. Three months later, Misako visits Shotaro and asks him to hold Mayumi, who has been sentenced to her death without knowing the man. Shotaro and Mayumi get married and fall in love night after night... Akira Kawamoto's scenario based on Sanyutei Encho's masterpiece rakugo "Kaidan Botan Toro" is directed by veteran Akira Fukamachi. Bringing the taste of Japanese ghost stories to pink movies, the film has a unique flavor. Fresh Minami Aiyama, veteran Satomi Shinozaki, Yoko Satomi and others are showing good performances with the right people in the right place.
