After losing their restaurant in a fire, a married couple comes up with a strange plan to rebuild their shattered finances: marrying the husband off to a series of lonely women and defrauding them. Miwa NISHIKAWA's unsparingly bleak yet darkly humorous analysis of the nature of relationships will leave the audiences with no romantic illusions.
