Erina, played by Inoue, is the abducted child, who in this movie is now grown-up and has also become a mistress herself. Moriguchi plays Erina's birth-mother/cheated-on wife. Nagasaku plays the abductress/mistress. And Koike plays a reporter who becomes close to Erina.
Not particularly interested in this film (well, other than Koike-san). Just distracting my mind off a programming problem I'm working on... lateral thinking?
To learn even more, the movie's Japanese website is at youkame.com.

Novelist Mitsuyo Kakuta won the literature award Naoki Prize for her novel "Women on the other shore" in 2005, typically depicting the daily life of Japanese women struggling to overcome difficulties. She has worked with the director Izuru Narushima to produce "Rebirth". The title can drive audiences into dimensional imaginary world of reality and novels. But Audiences can imitate some hints about the connection between the past and the present and produce the consequence of the future. First of all, audiences may feel inspired with Eiko Koike's hot-bikini body heating away from the freezing winter, lullabying by Mao Inoue's child-look innocent face with Japan's phenomenal kawaii, then speeding up with Hiromi Nagasaku's challenging eyes and seduce as a mother, and staying with Yoko Moriguchi's Japanese feminine outlook. "Rebirth" can be a good movie and edited for both versions - Japanese and Internal. I wish I can convert more Japanese movies into international versions for both commercial and academic purposes. We can converge in the end.
