Michio Enomoto (Tappei Aono) is a painter who has never achieved success with his works, making his living instead of a part-time job collecting garbage. Yet, he was satisfied with such a life. One day, he meets with Sachi Tomita (Makoto Tanaka), a woman who says that she likes Michio's paintings, and the two of them begin dating.
