Sensual, controversial, decadent, yet oddly funny, this is a story of an aging professor's (SHALL WE DANCE's Akira Emoto) perverted desire towards his sexually suppressed young wife. Seeking stimulation to his fading potency, he keeps a detailed diary of his sexual life with her, hoping she will open the drawer and read it, while purposefully letting a young photographer come into their life to steal her heart.
