Masaru Konuma, the notorious filmmaker who introduced the Japanese S&M
genre to the world. Naomi Tani plays a woman captured and tormented by
her estranged husband. He disciplines her vehemently and and soon she
grows to appreciate the joys of torture. This only leads to even more
sadistic games when the husband kidnaps two young people who inadvertently
become involved in the sick abuse.
