    • Three days and three women, all of different ages.
      As the shadow of adult videos is cast on all of their
      lives, they cross paths, ever so slightly...
      Ayano finds herself twenty-something and stuck
      in Tokyo, having moved there after graduating
      high school. Wanting a change, she debuts as an
      adult video actress. Things go well until one day
      her mother calls. "You’re doing some kind of weird
      job, aren’t you?"
      Miho and her husband haven’t slept together in
      five years. Under the pressures from her wish for
      children, her feminine desires, her dissatisfaction
      with her husband and all sorts of troubles ailing
      her with countless sleepless nights, Miho
      searches for an adult video company and visits
      their agency.
      Ayako lives in the countryside with her mother, a
      former adult video actress, who doesn’t tell Ayako
      about her past. After summer vacation, Ayako, a
      generally unnoticed high school senior, wins a
      prize in a fairly large national art contest. With the
      attention, however, comes rumors about her
      mother spreading across the school.
