A man with a troubled past including incest with a younger sister and the murder of a woman travels to an isolated countryside town in Nagano. There a local who mistakes him for a famous television actor shows him the town's sites, including a strip bar in which the performers remove Heian era costumes. The film's narrative is in an allegorical and disjointed manner with references to Buddhist concepts.[2] The title bears no relation to the story, and there are no masturbation scenes in the film.[3] Loosely based on Kenji Nakagami's short story Aragami.[2]—Paul John Wright
