## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Subu churns out softcore for a socially repressed Japan, funding Haru’s household with the takings while she winks at her carp-husband’s imaginary veto. Haru shares her bed with Subu, her son moons over her daughter, and the director watches with amused detachment. What began as a scandalous romp now feels like sympathetic anthropology on fast-forward.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, playful, tender
