NIKKATSU

[ Story ]

This is the story of a woman who is dissatisfied with her husband and is one day raped by a thief. When the rapist discovers that she has not reported the crime to the police, he comes back and uses her again and again.
The wife hates the thief for what he is doing to her, yet her body cries out for his physical love as she waits for him to return. The uneducated but cunning thief both overestimates the situation and underestimates the real motives of the woman. She tries to poison him, but he really dies of a heart attack brought about perhaps by his repeated attacks.
