Two drifters, Jun and Katsuhiro, dream of escaping Japan for Africa but end up stranded in a bleak fishing town in Hokkaido. There, they drift between odd jobs, drinking, and fleeting connections, including with a disillusioned woman, Fujiko. Their dream of Africa becomes less a destination than a symbol of escape from stagnation, as the film reflects on friendship, longing, and the quiet despair of lives lived on the margins.
