This sensual drama delicately depicts the shifting emotions of a female teacher struggling with a barren love affair. Director Imaoka Shinji, who is still very active, poetically depicts the struggles of a teacher through her flirtatious boyfriend and eccentric male students. High school teacher Noriko (Takano Marie) is in a relationship with Koichi (Yoshioka Mutsuo), a younger man, but she distrusts him because he plays carelessly with a customer at her part-time job. One day, Koichi has a fight with Noriko, and when he visits his favorite restaurant with Takako (Aya Yonekura), whom he met by chance, he runs into Noriko drinking with her colleagues.
