A man starved for recognition becomes consumed by delusions as he attempts to complete an interesting novel.
[Synopsis]
Lost in the crowd, a man who looks down on the people of Tokyo as “those guys” aspires to become a novelist in order to become the “valuable human being” he desires. However, due to his self-centered attitude, he is abandoned by his lover and told by his editor that “it will be difficult to make his debut as a novelist.” One day, the man, who makes a living as a driver for a brothel, meets a call girl who feels different from “those guys.” Her presence gradually begins to change him.
The man struggles between reality and creativity. To such a man, Kobayashi, a friend and bestselling novelist, offers advice on how to complete an interesting novel.
