Chisato, Yukari, and Hisae meet Oshima, who produced an unfinished romance movie from decades ago. They plan to find Kayoko, the former leading lady. That night, Oshima discovers his wife threw his movie reel in the trash. Later, Miyu encounters a shinma named Gen-Eh dwelling inside the reel. The next morning, Miyu's friends discover that Kayoko is Oshima's wife. Oshima explains he married her to prove his love, but it only made her bitter. Gen-Eh possesses Oshima and devours him into the film. Miyu follows the shinma inside, cuts off all light sources, and inflames the entity into darkness, destroying the film in the process.
