A pink film where chains break bodies but trauma binds souls — Yoshii picked the wrong housewife.
Yuriko has been forced into a life with no freedom due to her husband’s domestic violence. Her friend Mari is worried about her but recruits her to a newly emerged religion in the hopes of helping her find happiness. However, there is no one that can save Yuriko from her despair. Meet Yoshii, a man who was in jail for killing his wife. After being released from prison, he immediately starts to plan a robbery/rape. He browses through the cell phone he stole from Mari’s house, and comes across a photo of Yuriko in her underwear, wearing an eyepatch. He decides that she will be his next target. He plans his entry when Yuriko’s husband is out of the house; once he gets into the house he sees a naked Yuriko all chained up. Yuriko, who was able to escape because of the robbery, starts to live together with Yoshii. Yoshii, who is dealing with the trauma of killing his wife, seems to fit well with Yuriko. That is until a certain incident causes everything to go wrong…

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pink film (pinku eiga) occupies a unique space where eroticism funds experimental storytelling; Yamanouchi uses the format for genuine psychological horror rather than titillation.
The eyepatch imagery references Japanese 'injured beauty' tropes from ero-guro tradition, suggesting Yuriko's damage makes her desirable within the film's twisted economy of violence.
