A short film centred around the infamous Hanagawa line (a.k.a. Groper Train). New classmate Yuriko saves Saori from being groped by slashing the molester with a razor blade. The two girls plus two tag-along friends then conspire to take justice into their own hands and go on a hunt for gropers. However, their hunt exposes deep divides amongst the girls which are mainly personified by Saori’s desire to be touched and Yuriko’s hatred of it. The wide gap between them leads to their ideals of justice becoming twisted, and puts them all in danger. The film deals with difficult sexual themes, not limited to rape, sexual assault, and self-discovery of sexual preferences and sexuality.
