Joy of the Married Woman (2008)

4 (24)

Akiko is married for three years to a man whom her parents introduced to her. Everything seems normal on the surface but in fact, she is trembling every day in anxiety, hiding a secret she can't even tell her husband: a memory of being gang-raped by a group of seniors in the past. She can not overcome the trauma it caused her, and it even makes her afraid of having sex with her own husband. Hirano, a psychiatrist, treats her with counseling but she does not show any signs of improvement. Hirano's junior doctor, Sakamoto, tries an alternate therapy for Akiko: to make her meet one of her past assailants and subject her to the same sexual assault that she experienced a long time ago, hoping that by doing so, she will be able to make peace with it. Will this treatment be effective for Akiko? And if it does more than cure her, like bring out her most perverted instinct in the process, will Sakamoto, who seems to start falling for her, be able to take it?
