Nagata (Yamazaki) is the writer/director of an unpopular theatre troupe. One day, he meets Saki (Matsuoka), a young woman who had come to Tokyo to become an actress, and they fall in love. While Saki sees Nagata's talent and indulges him, he believes that the only way he can make her happy is to succeed as a playwright. But as he struggles to hone his craft, the distance between them grows.
