A swimsuit shoot spirals into exploitation chaos — and she's finally had enough.
A woman who passed the audition to become a campaign girl for a certain manufacturer without her boyfriend knowing. Her boyfriend berated her more persistently than usual, telling her not to get excited at the thought of seeing these big breasts, which only he had seen, exposed to the public eye on TV and in gravure magazines. Her debut was decided, and it was the day of her photo shoot. It was supposed to be a promise that she would wear a swimsuit, but the demands of the manufacturer's representatives and photographer gradually escalated. Campaign models like this are just trying to lure in the lewd minds of men who treat her like a toy, thinking that she's just a sex product. She finally gets mad at the fact that all the men around her behave like that...
