Film Description
Japanese psychological horror in which, in 1923 Tokyo, the landlord of a downmarket boarding house is obsessed with spying on his guests. One night he sees a prostitute brutally murdering her client, and instead of handing her over to the police, he decides that he has found his soulmate.
