This gruesome tale depicts a fantasy-fulfilling club which houses deadly fights where winners are rewarded, and losers meet their ultimate fate.

Inspired by the true story of a Geisha murdered in a city famous for its baths, Adachi forged here his favorite style, a kind of conceptual documentary recounting the incident in monotone. The same event that at the beginning of Violated Angels escaped every principle of causality, is portrayed here as a singular anti-spectacle.
