Director (and in this case, scriptwriter) Kazuki Omori has turned 180 degrees around from his Godzilla films to tackle college-student dialogues on the meaning of life, love, work, and once in awhile, learning. In the process of thinking through these topics, a Tokyo University student takes side trips to the port of Kobe to have a few beers and long conversations with a friend of his and the ever-helpful bartender. Whatever the bartender and his friend do not cover, the student can find in his ongoing relationship with a mystery woman. Not everything it is assumed, can be learned inside the university.
