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\u0027s (Kanayama) place known as \u0022Taihei Apartment\u0022 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\u0027s 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.","wins":0,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Tadanobu Asano","code":"nm0038355","characters":"Tsube"},{"name":"Miki Fujitani","code":"nm0297859","characters":"Kuniko"},{"name":"Y\u00fbko Fujimori","code":"nm1594954","characters":"Nurse"},{"name":"Kazuhiko Kanayama","code":"nm0437126","characters":"Kimoto"},{"name":"Tsugumi","code":"nm0875261","characters":"Chiyoji Kobayashi"},{"name":"Mutsumi Fujita","code":"nm1410974","characters":"Woman at Yanagiya"},{"name":"Mika Aoba","code":"nm3342249","characters":"Stripper"},{"name":"Kaoru Mizuki","code":"nm1003054","characters":"Gynecologist"},{"name":"Nijiko Kiyokawa","code":"nm0457953","characters":"Candy Seller"},{"name":"Hideo Sunazuka","code":"nm0839024","characters":"Station Attendant"},{"name":"Tetsur\u00f4 Tanba","code":"nm0848533","characters":"Landlord"},{"name":"Masumi Hara","code":"nm1571662","characters":null}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"based on comic"},{"text":"manga"},{"text":"cheating girlfriend"},{"text":"infidelity"},{"text":"doctor"}],"production":[{"id":"co0212419","text":"Ishii Production"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0363235","title":"Bright Future"},{"code":"tt0168972","title":"Love \u0026 Pop"},{"code":"tt0430651","title":"Survive Style 5+"},{"code":"tt0403965","title":"Dead End Run"},{"code":"tt0276935","title":"Electric Dragon 80.000 V"},{"code":"tt0059816","title":"Shogun\u0027s Joy of Torture"},{"code":"tt0071797","title":"Mahler"},{"code":"tt0210302","title":"Gemini"},{"code":"tt0142999","title":"\u00d4sen chitai"},{"code":"tt0202268","title":"Black Cat Mansion"},{"code":"tt0143010","title":"Orgies of Edo"},{"code":"tt0142920","title":"Inferno of Torture"}]}
