Plot

The film follows the story of the tarnished releationship between Chihiro, a shy housewife who's only comfort is reading, and Matsuda (Patrick Britten), a mysogonistic wife beater who believes women are the problem of the world and are only good for sex. It depicts severe beatings and verbal abuse which Chihiro does not take a stand against. When Chihiro finally speaks her mind to Matsuda, he beats her. When Chihiro is out of the house, she meets with an unnamed friend (Brandon Osborne (Loi)), known only as 'Shinigami' (death god or death spirit). He then gives her advice, unbeknonst to her that he only wants to collect her soul, and he is guiding her to her demise. When packing clothes and necesseties with intentions to leave the abusive relationship behind her, Chihiro is caught in the act by Matsuda, who ruthlessly beats her. There is a slow motion shot of Chihiro falling to the ground, interspersed with scenes of Shinigami standing motionless. The final shot is a close up to Chihiro's face, and the end credits.
