This is Yamakawa's first feature film in 16mm. A group of university students who grew up in an era of rapid economic growth yearn for "another side" of life as they face romantic conflicts and the suicide of a fellow student.

The film begins with a morning scene in an apartment, which one might expect to be a drama about a college student living with a man and a woman, but the style takes a turn when the man and the woman, who had left for school one step ahead of the others, suddenly return home by train. What lies behind, what has passed, passes by with an indifferent face. The author's method of daring to focus on the behind is not only to tell the story through the image of the protagonist, but also through the people in the image, or through the author's own image. It is told not only through the image of the protagonist, but also through the people in the image, or through the artist's own image.

Fuzoku is nothing, so pick up a pick-up. Ken is a university student who refuses to take anything seriously except picking up girls. Shin, a junior student who spends all his time picking up girls with Ken, has a girlfriend called Sakura for the first time. Shin worries about himself in terms of love. Shin gets angry at Ken's attitude of making fun of him, and they finally get into a fistfight. Ken loses out and gets injured, but still goes out into the night downtown to pick up girls again... Conversation between Ken and Shin, who seem to be talking but do not communicate. Ken's pick-up, where he is actually not interested in the other person. Sakura, who doesn't explain anything. The bright emptiness of a generation living with language that does not produce communication is portrayed with a fixed camera like a photo box and night photography.
