Plot
Sumida Masakiyo is a severely-disabled man who lives an independent life with the help of an electric wheelchair, voice machine, and a carer. Using his real name, Sumida exerts himself to act the role of the "attacker Sumida". Sumida is leading a peaceful life in the good company of a musician Take (Hotta Naozo), a carer as well as a good listener, when a college student, Nobuko (Torii Mari), wishing to gain some experience of care, appears. Sumida becomes attracted to Nobuko, but a feeling of discomfort, which he finds hard to come to terms with, develops in him and gradually he surrenders himself to insanity. Sumida commits a string of killings, and the story converges towards a bloody ending.
