Descripción
As he lands at a European airport, Toru Watanabe, a 37-year-old executive, hears an old Beatles song that takes him back to his youth, to the turbulent Tokyo of the sixties.
With a mixture of melancholy and unease, Toru then remembers the unstable and mysterious Naoko, the girlfriend of his best and only teenage friend, Kizuki. Kizuki's suicide distanced Toru and Naoko for a year, until they met again and began an intimate relationship.
However, the appearance of another woman in Toru's life leads him to experience dazzlement and disillusionment where everything should make sense: sex, love and death.
