What happens

Leave My Girl Alone (Japanese: ボクの女に手を出すな, Hepburn: Boku no Onna ni Te wo Dasuna; lit. Don't Touch My Woman) is a 1986 Japanese thriller film directed by Shun Nakahara and co-written by Nakahara with Hiroshi Saito, based on a novel of the same name by Jotaro Kuwahara. It tells the story of a financially desperate young woman who takes a job tutoring a rich kid, only to find herself entangled in a kidnapping plot. The film stars Kyoko Koizumi in the lead role, in addition to Ryo Ishibashi, Aiko Morishita, Teppei Yamada and Kaneko Iwasaki. Eiji Kawamura composed the film's score, while its theme song, "Embraced by a Dead Tree" (Kogarashi ni Dakarete), was performed by Koizumi. Leave My Girl Alone was theatrically released by Toei Company on December 13, 1986, in Japan, where it was a financial success. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
