OPEN HOUSE, written by Akutagawa Award winning writer Hitonari Tsuji, is composed of two stories – one about Tomonori and Mitsuwa, and the other about Yuiko.
Mitsuwa and Tomonori Mitsuwa (Eihi Shiina) is a third rate model and very unhappy with her demeaning job of handing out leaflets. Unfortunately she doesn’t have too many options so she gets by as best she can. One day she gets drunk and starts a fight at a party where she is working. She ends up getting kicked out of the bar and running into Tomonori (Daijiro Kawaoka) who has no place to go. Tomonori finds Mitsuwa lying on the street while he was calling a friend to bum a bed for the night from a public telephone booth. Tomonori takes care of Mitsuwa and takes her home. Next morning, Mitsuwa is surprised to find Tomonori in her room.
Yuiko Yuiko (Kaho Minami) has just been divorced. She is very confused and almost desperate, which causes her stress-related itchiness that prevents her from a good night’s rest and leaves her to scratch all night.
