"I burn with love, sparing no time to sleep. Now, my ailing body burns fiercely in a whirlpool of satisfaction and emptiness." A slightly sad love movie.
Akamatsu was a popular actor in his youth, and now in his forties, he plays supporting roles in dramas. It is well known that he is gay, and whenever he has time, he goes to Sachi, a gay bar owned by Michiru and Takashi. One day, Wakamatsu's friend, producer Shinozaki, introduces him to Kikuo, an aspiring screenwriter. Reading Kikuo's script, Wakamatsu's desire to make him a top-notch screenwriter arises, but before long, Wakamatsu realizes that he is seriously in love with Kikuo... A slightly sad love movie.
