Plot

Akira Tachibana (Shuji Kashiwabara) who works at Kinoshita Foundry can not love other people because of the trauma he has gotten from his boss Kinoshita, who has been like a father to Akira but also has been molesting him since Akira was little. Akira gives detective Fukuda (Kazuhiro Sano) a blow job in exchange of money when he is not working at the Foundry. The melting iron, simple hard work······Akira has been holding up the feeling of gloom.

One day, when Akira is driving his motorcycle, he hits a woman wearing a red dress right after he makes a turn on a tunnel. He brings back the unconscious woman to his apartment and tries to take care of her, but when she wakes up, she runs off from his place without a word. This is the moment Akira meets Kaori Yamamoto (Anzu). A few days after the accident, Kaori comes back to Akira’s apartment to get her purse back. The name of his apartment is “Izuko Sou”······. Akira unusually chat with her while Fukuda who becomes so jealous about those two tries eavesdropping outside the door. When Akira hears sound outside and gets up to check outside, Kaori grabs his arm in silence. “You are unexpectedly strong.”

Akira gets fired from Kinoshita’s wife (Kyoko Matsumura) because she finds out her husband’s inappropriate feeling for Akira. A few days later, Kinoshita comes to Akira’s apartment to get him back to work, but they have a fight and the knife accidentally falls on Kinoshita. Akira is frightened when he realizes what he has done. And when Kaori comes to visit him, they get together impulsively.

Kaori and Akira burn the body of Kinoshita and dump it in the ocean. They can’t turn back anymore. Akira buys a wedding ring for Kaori, and they perform their wedding at a shrine by themselves. “Let’s go, shall we?” “Yeah, let’s go.”
