Rika, 24-year-old, is an attractive woman. Out of the blue, her boyfriend, Ono, breaks off their relationship. In utter despair, she makes a series of calls on her cell phone. One of them reaches Kono, a 29-year-old film distributor who is at home composing a letter of resignation. Determined to confront her ex-boyfriend, Rika visits Ono’s apartment. But Ono reiterates his scorn and accuses her of loving only herself. Faint from the shock of this encounter, Rika hits the redial button on her cell phone. Her call reaches Kono. He rushes to meet her and takes her home. Increasingly alienated from his professional life, Kono has begun to regard Rika as his only connection to the world.
