Synopsis

Although he doesn’t have a girl friend yet, 23-year-old Ebara does, however, attend classes at an institution where they teach how to meet a girl. One day he meets Sam, a french man in his 40s, who came riding on a strange boat in the shape of a clam. They become friends, and soon find out their mutual passion for women. This comic film mixes elements of both fantasy and humor. The two characters exhibit two distinct ways in which to deal with love; love of fate and laborous love. However, the film retains its optimism and humor throughout.
