Spoilers ahead
The film opens with a powerful businessman at the center of a tense, troubling world. Mr. Nagara Takeo Nakahara sits with his loyal assistant in a banquet of excess, where the grotesque tableau of sushi laid on naked bodies sets the tone for a story about power, obsession, and consequence. The mood is clinical, almost ritualistic, as the two men debate the grotesque theater they must perform to seal contracts. The moment is jolted when a phone call arrives: Midori’s father, a crisis that fractures the calm surface. Ishida Hideo Sakaki, the steadfast aide, informs Nagara that his daughter Midori has taken her own life, and the news tugs at every corner of this brittle world.
