Plotline

Influenced by the novel Belle de Jour by Joseph Kessel,[1] the film follows the story of Sawa, who sleeps with a married man 'heijitsu hirugao tsuma' (while her husband is working). After it becomes known, she moves to escape the harassment, even changing her name. But after the illicit lovers break off the relationship that had resulted in so much destruction, they meet by chance in a small seaside town, and the relationship is once again kindled.[2][3]
