A city where solitude and clamor intersect... A woman wanders alone, seeking solace for her heart, spending her days in the embrace of men. A bizarre murder occurs in the city, and the detective pursuing the case grows increasingly anxious. The madness of the serial killer repeating his heinous acts further consumes him... When three hearts meet, a desperate love races through the night. The debut work and foundational piece of acclaimed film director Kei Nakata, known for “Non-Metal Night” and “In Between...”.
