A corporate burnout, his cheating wife, and a brothel epiphany walk into the countryside.
The Nagasaki family consists of four people: the parents and twin siblings. That night, the three except for the father and Kajitsu were relaxing in the living room, while Kajitsu went to a brothel to commemorate the end of his life as an office worker. Exhausted by human relationships, Kajitsu wanted to build everything from scratch, so he decided to move to the countryside. Meanwhile, his wife Hiromi was having an affair with the mediocre actor Fuji Ikuma, but she broke up with him, thinking it was a good opportunity to have the ideal affair. Hiromi is what the world calls a beautiful witch. She thought there must be someone more suitable for her than a man like Ikuma.
