About

One woman, two men. It seems like a trivial story. A young woman's car runs out of gas, so she hitchhikes to the nearest station. Two men in a sports car stop her, take her into the woods and rape her. But the young woman is a veterinarian and doesn't hesitate to use her profession. So, not just as an act of revenge, but for the safety of the world and future generations, she castrates the two men. The men involved, however, see it differently. Deprived of their manhood, they feel deeply humiliated and devastated, especially because they are forced to keep everything secret for the sake of their careers.
