Experimental film by Tachibana Kaoru.

The 18th installment of the outrageous, lust-fueled saga of history's most shameless gigolo, Jin Kaito! This time, the master pick-up artist Jin is delivering ecstasy to the beautiful women of Shōnan. Everything seems perfect when he ends up in bed with the stunning Oshino until he finds out she's actually a transgender woman. Jin tries to flee, but Oshino won’t let him go. Meanwhile, her jealous ex-boyfriend Yamamoto thinks she’s been stolen from him and sends the Kamikaze-kai yakuza gang after Jin...

This is a film about a medium approaching extinction, an 8mm documentary film about a vanishing 8mm cinema. Blending two genres, the science film and the personal film, and benefiting from the participation of multiple generations of cineastes, it is a reflection upon the original cinematic experience.
