Story

Director Daisuke Yamanouchi pays homage to H.P. Lovecraft in this “pink Cthulhu” film, set in a lonely port town.

In a small fishing village in northern Kanto, Nami stands at the edge of the dock, waiting for her husband’s boat to return. While waiting, Nami lives with her father-in-law, Gengoro, who uses her nightly as he pleases. One day, a man named Kaneda washes up at the port, in hiding after committing a heinous sex crime, and begins to work for a fisherman named Kunio. While Kaneda is doing his best to reform his life, all hell breaks loose when he crosses paths with Nami, and his natural urges kick back in.
