Abstract

The Dark Side of Domestic Violence Impacted by the Standard Bearer of the Social Mystery

Every four days, a wife is murdered by her husband. Victims of domestic violence who cannot speak out still suffer from severe mental and physical injuries today.
Noriko risks her life to escape her violent husband and arrives at a quaint shelter overlooking Enoshima Island.
The house has one "rule".

What is the world in which these women live, who are placed in a situation that could even take their lives but are not protected by the law, and who have seen the end of despair?
The ultimate Sisterhood noir!
