Although Ozu Hideo dreamt to be a movie director, he is now a live-in employee in the warehouse of an adult video production company "Yamamoto Dream Project".

Nine years ago, Ozu took movie shoots of his childhood friend, Kurosawa Mai. However, the last scene was just blank white, and the film was ended without being completed. Then, there came a contact from Mai, after 4 years, for Ozu. She said she wanted to have the master tape of that shoots Ozu had.

What is waiting for Ozu in his rendezvous with Mai is a harsh reality. Mai had been debuted to be an actress. The head of the major production house Mai was belong to intended to buy Ozu's film. Giving a final blow to the bewildered Ozu, Mai said, "You, using an excuse of making a movie, dangled after me like a stalker for 9 years. No matter how long, do you think you'll be able to make a movie? That's why I am going to pay you 10 million as a consolidation money, isn't it enough?" The disappointed Ozu ran out through the exit door.

Ozu went home dead-drunk. What appeared before his eyes were girls looking like Kurosawa Mai who was shown in the film.
