How it feels

An unemployed former elite salaryman named Hiroshi dreams of becoming an Akutagawa Prize-winning writer. Inspired by Junichiro Taniguchi, he manipulates people in his life into acting out roles, starting with pushing his girlfriend Yumi to seduce other men so he can experience cuckolding in reality. The film follows how this psychological game of dominance and submission unfolds among those around him.
