Plot
Consumed by the jealousy and power struggles of their own relationships, a man, his mistress and his wife involve three children in their own games-with tragic results. After Skichi stops providing his mistress with monetary support, she leaves her three children with him, whom she insists are also his, and disappears. Skichi is bewildered and his wife is livid. With regard only for their own discomfort, they go about remedying their situation.Cammila Albertson, [http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:309944 Plot Synopsis], Allmovie
