## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Tokyo dusk. A discarded Hello Kitty doll. Married Taeko quietly suffocates, until a lurid crime scene awakens her senses. Leaving polite society, she descends into an underworld of erotic performance, shadowed by a more experienced guide.

Sono’s clinical tour is not for the faint of heart.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, raw, sexy, surreal, unhinged
