Kenmochi is a prestigious art critic who refuses to accept the passing of time. With the hope of recovering his sexual vigor, he asks Kimura, a young doctor engaged to his daughter, for injections that can bring back some of that lost vitality. The injections don’t seem to be enough, but a cheerful exchange between his wife and Kimura during a family dinner will be enough for Kenmochi to discover that jealousy can be a much more powerful aphrodisiac. From that moment on, he will put Kimura and his wife face to face in increasingly intimate situations. (Mar del Plata International Film Festival)
