Plot Summary

Three young men from Aomori-- Harada, Matsumoto, and Osawa-- live together in a small room in Tokyo. They constantly bemoan their lack of money, lack of girlfriends, poor living conditions and boring lives. Riding home on a train one evening, they impulsively go to the beach instead. There they attack a couple, raping the woman, and forcing the man to have sex with her while they take pictures. The next day, they insult and belittle student demonstrators at the university where Matsumoto is supposedly studying to take entrance exams. In their apartment, they disturb their neighbors by singing late into the night, and then peep on the couple making love in the next room. Chieko Yoshinaga, an elementary school friend of the three who now works as a hostess in a Tokyo nightclub, pays the men a visit. They later rape her in her apartment. By chance, the three men meet a model whose nude pictures decorate their apartment. She invites them to her room and entertains them with whisky and sex until three thugs burst in and beat and rob the three men. After this attack, the trio begin meeting violent ends, and the survivors blame society for their sorry plight. Written by Dekkappai
