For this film Imamura selected a name from police lists of one of the 30,000 missing persons, enlisted the aid of this man's fiancée, and embarked on a search for him, interviewing his friends, his relations, his employers, and his acquaintances, and filming the results with hidden cameras. Imamura's representatives in these interviews were an actor named Shigeru Tsuyuguchi and the missing man's fiancée, a girl named Yoshie. Then the director found himself faced by a totally unexpected development. It soon became apparent that Yoshie was losing interest in the search, and before long we find her declaring her love for the actor, Shigeru Tsuyuguchi.
