The completely disturbed family is now trying to come to terms with the monkey. Margaret tells Peter that if he was jealous he could kill the monkey; he wouldn't be prosecuted for murder.

Reviews
The Lexicon of International Films noted: “A kind of triangular story with grotesque features, with which Nagisa Oshima varies the fable of the monster and the beautiful as a social satire; Thematically a quite interesting film about love that "degenerates into ape love, but formally no more than a staid salon comedy."
