Big brother and local wood-cutter, Shinji, informs Sumika about cash flows and tells her she has to wait.

    This is just what a guy wants from a Japanese movie: bizarre humor, twisted family relationships, a little sexual deviance, beautiful women.

Nagasaku plays the innocent, an outsider who has married into a crazy family and she is the only character any one should relate to (or pity). Check out her filmography, she always elevates a film. This one is stylized decadence with a sweet filling. Not for mainstream lovers.
