Tsuji decides to forget Ukiyo forever and gets engaged to his colleague from the office. Ukiyo, as far as she is concerned, cannot get Tsuji out of her mind... but this time, it’s he who has disappeared.
“Women are always represented as consumer products for love and sex at the disposition of men, and their value is determined by the distance which exists between the former and the latter. But the story of this film attempts to show that this female figure has developed in fact under pressure from a male chauvinist society, and denounces how much women suffer from being drawn into this spiral. For me, Ukiyo’s behaviour towards men is nothing but the expression of deeply sincere mimicry, which she instinctively adopted in order to survive in this man’s world. Just like a chameleon which would change colour in function of its environment, Ukiyo uses mimicry to protect herself from the male order” Kôji Fukada
