An up-and-coming model meets with an unforeseen accident and is unable to accept her own demise. She deceives Death and returns to the real world, but... There is a different sense of exaltation from previous Somai films in the depiction of her spirit coming to understand the joys of living.
After dropping out of Chuo University, Somai joined Nikkatsu Studio as a contract AD. He established a fresh visual style in Sailor Suit and Machine Gun (1981), The Catch (1983), and Typhoon Club (Tokyo International Film Festival Young Cinema Grand Prix 1985).
