The film centers around the Tsujiura Shrine, a feature sometimes used in Japanese ghost stories. The function of the shrine is to answer truthful questions about a person's love life. In this case the shrine works as a self fulfilling monkey's paw. Midori (Risa Gotô) is the new girl in class, a class full of girls who like boys and are eager to know their future.
About an hour into the film, it takes a twist which I couldn't see coming even as I was gathering up the clues. The film uses English subtitles (you would think I would know Japanese by now). The film is classified as a "horror" most likely because people die and there are ghosts, but it is not horror that jumps off the screen. Mild by most standards, almost an art film.
