Aki,
an overweight girl, lives a hermit existence as a projectionist in a neighborhood
theater. She passes the time by killing prostitutes, butchering them and
cutting their stomachs out. Eventually, she becomes involved in a deadly
love /hate relationship with her beautiful friend, Ami. The conflict between
the two girls is heightened by the sexual aggressions of a mutual boyfriend
