Ogata is a director of erotic movies shot in 8mm. He usually shoots two movies a day, avoiding the police and the local mob. He's married to Haru and lives with his wife and the two children she had with her first late husband.

The health of Ogata's wife is deteriorating because of a bad heart condition. Ogata will have to deal successively with his son-in-law's never ending need for money, with his 15 years old stepdaughter's first sexual experiences and with his own impotence.
