Kitano, que esta vez no actúa en el film, conmueve con una narración fatalista de imágenes maravillosas y música que llega al corazón. Pasa sin brusquedades de una narración a otra, y logra convencernos de que lo relatados es, verdaderamente, una historia única, la eterna búsqueda del amor, que todos ansiamos.
Matsumoto and Sawako are in love with each other. When the president of the company where Matsumoto works "selects" him to marry his daughter, Matsumoto's parents force him to accept the engagement. On the wedding day, Matsumoto is informed that Sawako has attempted to commit suicide and is slow and catatonic in a clinic. Matsumoto feels guilty, and takes Sawako out of the clinic; his decision affects their lives. The old Yakuza boss Hiro misses his girlfriend from thirty years ago that has promised to wait for him in a park while he would chase success. When Hiro visits the park, he sees her on the bench where they used to meet each other. The pop-star Haruna Yamagushi has an obsessive fan called Nukui that stalks her everywhere. After a car accident, Nukui makes a decision to be close to his beloved idol.
