The film starts with the everyday life of an ordinary couple, but gradually draws the audience into a world of fetishes. Although it was shot digitally, the cinematographer and colorist added a film-like texture and carefully designed lighting to guide the viewer’s attention to the characters, deepening the film’s visual impact. The music was created by having the composer and music producer watch the footage, helping to give the film a unique personality. Careful attention was also paid to details like the singer’s breathing and the nuances of the clarinet, adding depth to the sound. Finally, the film plays with the boundary between what is human, object, or body part, and viewers are invited to witness those moments when the line between them becomes unclear.
