Two girls, unaware of the surprising effect of prolonged seiza—numb legs leading to immobilization—are brought together in a studio. One is a B-list gravure idol who never made it big, the other a complete newcomer to filming. Both are struggling to survive in the harsh world of show business. The director is a merciless figure who demands perfection, refusing to compromise no matter how numb their legs become. A strange situation unfolds where, for these girls, the thought of being fired triggers a far stronger rejection response than the physical act of having their legs touched.
