Shinjurou Yuuki is working as a movie cameraman. His current project is "The Retard", a film set in a fictionalized modern-day Japan that is embroiled in war, though the story focuses on three young women who escape from different places only to wind up living together in the closet of a ramshackle house and being loved by the same man. The seeming disinterest of the director, Kichitarou Mitaka, is balanced by the passion of the three lead actresses. Their enthusiasm rubs off on Shinjurou, who becomes inspired to do the best work he`s ever done. But then, one day, Director Mitaka is murdered and the prime suspect is Shinjurou himself, apparently the last person to see the director alive...
