Synopsis

Horror. A middle-aged Japanese television producer is told by his son he ought to be looking for another wife, following the death of his first. He 'auditions' likely candidates - on the pretext of interviewing for a possible movie role. He becomes interested in one particular woman, a former ballerina, who always dresses in white. However, it soon becomes clear that there is more to the lady than meets the eye, particularly in view of the large scars on her legs and the stories the producer hears about the woman's acquaintances who have mysteriously disappeared.
