After losing her husband, Yuika was living in poverty with her daughter Meguri in an old house with a monthly rent of 70,000 yen. One day, their landlord, Ozawa, came to collect the overdue rent. When Yuika pleaded for a little more time, Ozawa pressured her, saying that if she had no money, she should pay in another way, and even suggested a degrading arrangement involving Yuika and her daughter Meguri.
