Synopsis

This movie is another adaptation based on the novel by Sano Hiromi. In 2025, a drama adaptation was released with a different cast on WOWOW.
 
Set in a traditional Japanese house nestled by the sea, this enigmatic shelter known as “Ouchi” takes in women who have suffered abuse at the hands of spouses or parents. Within its walls, a tense crime thriller unfolds, where a creeping sense of unease calls everything into question.
 
Noriko fled her husband, who subjected her to daily abuse. Lost in despair, she was offered a lifeline by Michiko, a nurse at the hospital where she was admitted. Michiko brought her to a quiet, secluded facility tucked away on the outskirts of Miura Beach — a shelter for women who had survived violence at the hands of spouses or parents. The women who lived there named it “Ouchi. (Our Home)”
 
Life inside followed strict rules, yet the days were calm and sheltered. But before long, Noriko began to sense that something was not quite right. Meanwhile, Kaoru, a detective investigating a mysterious case, was closing in on the secrets of “Ouchi.”
