A man (Kan Mikami) travels with his pill-popping girlfriend (Miyako Yamaguchi) to the headquarters of her yakuza boss husband, in order to claim her for himself. This goes quite wrong and he barely escapes with his life, which leads to him aimlessly roaming the wintery countryside and bedding various women he encounters, all the while still dreaming of somehow reclaiming his true love. This “roman porno” film was chosen as the 7th best film at the 2nd Yokohama Film Festival.
