In Japan they say: “Every ending is a new beginning.” But the humble marketer Kenji Yamada, who was fired from a major television company for no reason, somehow feels any better about folk wisdom. At forty years old, starting from scratch?! Under the malicious glances of former colleagues, his wife and especially his malicious mother-in-law?! Here it’s time to commit suicide out of resentment and humiliation. And even a lightning strike only causes masochistic pleasure - it’s a pity that it didn’t kill. But how much can you feel sorry for yourself? One day it dawns on Kenji that he has absolutely nothing to lose, and things can’t get any worse. Does that mean anything is possible? The clerk died. Long live the new life!
