THE KEY World Cinema

Sensual, controversial, decadent,
yet oddly funny, this is a story of an
aging professor’s (SHALL WE
DANCE’s Akira Emoto) perverted
desire towards his sexually suppressed
young wife. Seeking stimulation to his
fading potency, he keeps a detailed
diary of his sexual life with her,
hoping she will open the drawer and
read it, while purposefully letting a
young photographer come into their
life to steal her heart.
