Wakamatsu takes on the sixth film in the rather illustrious Perfect Education series. It's straightforward and generic pinku fare, with some interesting bits at the start and at the end, but also with a whole lot of nothing in the middle. You probably won't even recognize this as a Wakamatsu film.

Mikio has to get rid of his debt, so he agrees to kill the man of a rich woman. He fumbles the hit and he flees into the mountains. He shacks up in a small cabin but quickly realizes he's not alone in there. There's a girl with him in the cabin, who's been held there since she was very little.

The premise could've been interesting, but it's obvious this film wasn't made with any artistic merit in mind. Wakamatsu's hand is virtually invisible, the performances are weak, the presentation is paltry and the film is pretty long considering its meager plot. Not a good Wakamatsu.
