In 1923, Goda, a listless tenant in a cheap Tokyo boarding house, loosens a ceiling board while playing with a woman's wig and lipstick. He discovers a hidden attic passage that lets him spy on his neighbours' secret lives—sadistic, criminal, or bizarre acts—that reveal the true natures hidden behind their public façades.
