    Three Stories of Love
    A bridge inspector, the wife of an Okazu-ya owner, and a lawyer feature in three semi-unrelated stories.

    The bridge inspector seeks justice against a declared-insane street killer who killed three people, one of which was his beloved wife.

    The wife of the Okazya-ya goes through the motions of life, looking after her mother-in-law and indifferent/hostile husband.

    The lawyer is a gay young professional with a live-in lover.

    By turns, "Life with all of the boring parts" has the bridge inspector try to get the gay lawyer to seek damages from the killer. The wife happens upon a "special water scam" that starts at the bridge inspector's workplace. The lawyer gets drunk, criticizes and drives away his lover. How will these ordinary people resolve these "bumps in the road"? A Shochiku production that moves as slowly as the river...
