After 15-year-old Yasuko has her first orgasm with a teacher, she and her disillusioned group of friends decide to turn to prostitution to gain a better understanding of what emotions truly are.

This is essentially a highly condensed remake of the famous 1982 Isao Takahara release. It tells the story of Gauche, a struggling cellist in a provincial orchestra. He is visited by four talking animals - a cat, a cuckoo, a tanuki, and a field mouse - on successive nights They help him to improve his playing, just in time for orchestra’s concert performance of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony.
