Released
in Japan as an unrelated sequel to CARVED,
here is the [reportedly true crime] story of three sisters - Sachiko,
Yuki and Mayumi - who live in a small town of Gifu. Oldest sister Sachiko
is engaged and about to be married. Middle sister Yuki works at a beauty
salon where she hopes to someday have a shop of her own. And young Mayumi
is a high school student, on the track team, harboring a crush for the
team captain. But their carefree lives change forever when Sachiko's
ex-boyfriend - angry over her wedding - breaks into the house and pours
acid on the face of sleeping Mayumi [mistaking her for Sachiko]. As
he tries to escape down the hall, he accidentally kills mom and is then
shot dead by the father. Despite the doctors' best efforts, Mayumi is
permanently disfigured both physically and psychologically; she sinks
deeper into depression and isolation. Overwhelmed by physical and psychological
trauma, Mayumi sinks deeper into depression until she eventually takes
a scissors to fellow students bullying her.
