A promising trip with actress Funaki takes an unexpected turn for two amateur filmmakers, Tsuboi and Kinoshita, who barely know each other when Funaki oversleeps. Left stranded in a desolate town, the two find themselves with nothing but time on their hands. As they wander aimlessly, they begin to forge an awkward but friendly relationship. Their day takes another unexpected turn with the sudden appearance of a young woman named Satsuko. An early work from director Nobuhiro Yamashita, this film finds the subtle humor and melancholy in a day where nothing goes to plan. Presented on 35mm print.
