Kosuke, a worn-out dramatist from Tokyo, needs a time-out. After building a DIY-hut in the woods, he befriends some folks from the local town and begins thinking about the meaning of life. But his vow of celibacy is soon challenged by Shiori, a pushy young waitress. In the tradition of classic Nikkatsu Roman Porno films, Akihiko SHIOTA presents a passionate battle of the sexes.
