Today, a man named Sakata, their loan shark, arrives at their home—his demand is the wife's body. Desperate to survive, they had previously agreed to use the wife's body as collateral for the loan. As their lives spiral under this arrangement, their fate begins to change in irreversible ways. Meanwhile, the mysterious man recounts two dark tales: one of a young couple whose lives unravel due to debt, and another of middle-aged individuals crushed by business failure and despair. Is life nothing but an endless series of sorrows? A Reiwa-era elegy centered on tears and raw human desire unfolds here.
