Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

Sensational tabloid journalism (if that is not a contradiction in terms) gets its own full exposure in this drama about a photojournalist on the way to the top. When Nobi (Keiko Saito starts out at her newspaper she and her co-workers team-up to get photos that expose a politician's illicit affair, and they delve into the private lives of various celebrities through ingenious tricks. Nobi also starts to fall in love with one of the writers at the paper, and the story takes a sharp turn to serious drama when he and his two children are kidnapped by fanatics. Now the intrepid Nobi has the dilemma of her young life: does she cold-bloodedly publish the photos she will be taking of this kidnapping or, out of respect for her lover's dignity, keep them to herself?
