Eri and Kazuya have been married for three years, and now all the spark
is gone from their relationship. Actually, Eri gets bored in bed with her
husband ... until she catches voyeur Yuichi spying in on them and
videotaping their nightly sex. Eri is so turned on by this that she
blackmails Yuichi into peeping in on them every night. But even that loses
attraction before too long. So Eri soon forces Yuichi to invite yet
another voyeur to join him in watching her and her hubby, just for the fun
of it. Yuichi at first is at a loss because voyeurs usually don't
socialize - but then he catches Yukie, the girl of his dreams, peeping
into another man's window and blackmails her into peeping in on Eri and
Kazuya with him. While doing so, Yuichi and Yukie fall seriously in love
and become a couple - and soon, Yuichi hands their cameras over to Eri and
pretty much quits as her personal peeping tom ... much to the dismay of
Eri, who then sneaks over to Yuichi and Yukie's place to videotape them
having sex out of revenge. But while she's doing so she realizes what has
become of her, and thus she returns to her hubby and finally gives in to
his suggestions to have a baby ... There's more to Yukie than meets the
eye though: She's a very pretty woman, cute even, and because of that
she's extra tough at her job as editor of a magazine. In bed on the other
hand she's less than great, which of course troubles her greatly. Of all
her employees, only Yuichi tries to understand her, but at first, she's
only freaked out by him. Of course, he also peeps in on her (he wouldn't
be a good peeping tom if he didn't), but then he's almost caught and loses
a camera making her getaway. She sees herself masturbating on the camera
and starts to show anxiety syndromes - which eventually cause her to pick
up Yuichi's camera and spy on attractive young men ... which is where
Yuichi catches her, and their love affair begins - which comes to a
screeching halt when Yukie finds out he was the very man who has peaked in
on her and videotaped her masturbating. She chases him away - but then he
disappears from her life completely, much to her frustration. He only
returns when she masturbates thinking of him - and this time when she
catches him outside her window, she invites him in ... An
interesting film that tries to package its abundance of nudity and
softcore sex in a compelling and delightfully perverted story with an
inventive narrative structure even - which actually works, too. The whole
thing though is let a bit down by a very indifferent, impersonal, even
somewhat cold directorial effort. This is not to say the film is a
disaster though, it just falls short of its promise.
