When Goro discovers that his wife is cheating on him, he looks for revenge. However, a divorce would cost him a fortune, so he decides to blow all his money in a matter of just one month by trying to have sex with as many women as possible (108 to be precise). Starting with such a bizarre premise, this unadulterated pink film, in which the “battle of the sexes” is depicted in a satirical way, only derails further with each scene. With its musical sequences, orgies and embarrassing situations, this sex comedy cannot be called subtle, but that is also part of its charm.

De vrouw van Goro gaat vreemd en hij zint op wraak. Als hij van haar zou scheiden zou hem dat echter ontzettend veel geld kosten en dus besluit hij het maar te verbrassen in een maand waarin hij seks probeert te hebben met zoveel mogelijk vrouwen (108 om precies te zijn). Deze onvervalste pink film, waarin de ‘battle of the sexes’ op bijzondere wijze op de hak genomen wordt, begint met bovenstaande bizarre premise, maar ontspoort met elke scène alleen nog maar verder. Verwacht onder meer musicalsequenties, orgies en een hoop gênante situaties. Subtiel valt deze sekskomedie zeker niet te noemen, maar dat is in dit geval onderdeel van de aantrekkingskracht.
