Synopsis

Part of the RAMPO WORLD trio of films, this movie blends two of Edogawa Ranpo’s stories – “Daydream” and “The Lakeside Pavilion Incident.”
 
This new interpretation depicts the life of a timid cram school teacher, Watarai, who observes through a peephole the lives of the Magara couple, who live downstairs in the apartment building.
 
That spring, the Magara couple moved into the apartment directly below Watarai’s. Before long, Watarai drilled a peephole into their unit and made it his daily habit to watch their private lives unfold.
Wife Magara Hanae is steadily advancing in her career as a university associate professor, while her husband Magara Taro works as a part-time lecturer. Despite the imbalance in their careers, their relationship seems harmonious – at least on the surface.
 
However, one day, as Watarai indulges in his secret ritual of spying, he uncovers a shocking truth about Taro, something that even Hanae herself has never known…
