Plot

Yoshio Shiraiwa is divorced from his wife who denies him from visiting their only daughter. He returns to his hometown of Hakodate and enrolls at a vocational school specializing in carpentry while receiving unemployment payments. One day, he chances upon an unconventional woman, Tamura Satoshi, in an argument with her boyfriend at the roadside. She imitates the courtship ritual of an ostrich which drove off her boyfriend. However, Shiraiwa is amused by it. Satoshi notices him and they make eye contact. Shiraiwa proceeds to leave. At the vocational school, he meets Kazuhisa Daishima who is also training to be a carpenter. One day, Kazuhisa Daishima takes him to a cabaret club. Yoshio Shiraiwa meets Satoshi again, engaged in a dance. Satoshi Tamura and Yoshio Shiraiwa become close.
