It has been two years since unsuccessful cartoonist, Tsube (Asano),
started to live with Kuniko (Fujitani) casually in a small apartment.
They are in the depths of poverty and can no longer pay the rent. As a
result, they are forced to leave the apartment. Kuniko manages to find a
live-in job and starts to work at a company dormitory as a cook. On the
other hand, Tsube, being in a pitiful state without a penny to his
name, winds up crashing at his friend, Kimoto's (Kanayama) place known
as "Taihei Apartment" where Tsube himself used to live. One day Kuniko
visits Tsube at the apartment while Kimoto is out. Tsube secretly tries
to steal some money from Kuniko's purse and surprisingly finds a condom
instead. He starts to suspect her infidelity. He imagines Kuniko having
an affair with another man while reminiscing about his experiences with
her. Eventually he discovers that she has been unfaithful and tried to
kill himself by overdosing on pills. He wakes up in the hospital, where,
lacking money, he is discharged. Despondent he decides to go to the
mountains to keep himself distracted from his disconsolate feelings of
Kuniko. He runs across a local girl, Chiyoji (Tsugumi), and becomes
fascinated by her local dialect and follows after her to the bar she
works at. At this point the film becomes increasingly surreal, with
Tsube having more and more alienated erotic experiences, culminating
with him staggering wounded across a beach, desperately searching for a
doctor.
