Plot: Shinjyurou is an embalmer, which is considered an unclean and profane profession in Japan- unlike the way it's viewed in America. Because of this, Shinjyuro has become somewhat of an outcast in his home country of Japan. To him, embalming is simply a job, but one he views as a way to help give closure to those who are left behind to mourn for their loved ones. His way of coping with literally having to look death in the face every day is by sleeping around with beautiful women, much to the gall of his landlord's daughter. She aims to uncover the secrets of Shinjyurou's past, and why did he decide to become an embalmer in Japan, of all places?
