Nure jôzu: Hakui no mibôjin

Misayo, who works as a matron in the company's men's dormitory, is plagued by remorse for the death of her husband, who died in a fit of rage at her request. However, she was unable to wake up from the fire in her body and had relations with the young men in the dormitory. Furuyama, who lives in the dormitory, is fed up with Misayo's demands, and leaves the dormitory, leaving Arai, who has arrived from a branch office, to take over. Arai, who has been told not to disobey Misayo, leaves his body in her hands...

Directed by Riichi Katsu, Nure jôzu: Hakui no mibôjin leans on a strong ensemble — Sheena Nagamori, Yû Murakami, Kana Sakurai — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1999.
