Three women and two men appear one after the other without any context and continue to act in a disorderly manner through cutbacks. However, as the scene progresses, the relationship between each of them begins to emerge, and eventually, the five are connected by a single thread. This is a typical relationship between a man and a woman, or a woman and a woman, but the sharp images accurately capture the emptiness of the relationship. The line in the film, "I'm all alone", is unforgettable.

A corrupt businessman blackmails the lovelorn reprobate Atsushi into watching over his suitcase full of embezzled cash while he serves a jail sentence. Rather than wait for the man to retrieve his money, however, Atsushi decides to spend it all in one libidinous rush—fully expecting to be tracked down and killed.
