Plot

A group of seemingly ordinary men and women who meet up in a Roppongi luxury apartment to engage in loveless sex with semi-random partners. Most of their time is spent sitting around wearing nothing but bath towels chatting with each other and trying to decide who to have sex with. Eventually, a young unemployed man is paired up with a university student whose nerdy outward appearance belies her promiscuous nature.

Trivia

  • Miura spent two years planning the film and writing the screenplay himself, adding the sad spectacle of a “morning after” scene for the theatrical version.
  • To avoid any potential complaints, a heavily edited 40-second version of the film's official trailer was also created specifically for screening in theaters.
