CGiii Comment
Inudou displays all the talent of a wood louse when it comes to directing.
There is a good idea lost in this bizarre mess - a place where all the old poofs go to die.
One character will have you baying for his blood...you don't need to see it to believe it.
Excruciatingly irksome.
Totally dire.

The(ir) Blurb...
Saori is a young woman who struggles to make a living, with no financial or romantic prospects in her life. One rainy day, she receives a visit at work from a handsome young man called Haruhiko. He claims to be the boyfriend of her estranged father, Himiko, who now runs a seaside rest home for elderly gays. He tells her that her father is dying of cancer. Saori still harbors resentment toward her father for abandoning her and her mother years ago. However, Haruhiko makes her a financial offer she can't refuse, and she agrees to go and work at House of Himiko.
