광범위한 스펙트럼의 젠더와 섹슈얼리티를 가진 선구적인 아티스트, 활동가, 일반인들이 사회 규범에 반기를 들고 현재 일본에 존재하는 LGBTQ+문화를 만화경을 보듯 조명한다. 화려한 프라이드 퍼레이드부터 발랄하고 도발적인 언더 그라운드 파티까지 다루면서 영화는 태양 아래에서, 어둠 속에서, 그 사이 모든 곳에서 당당하게 비통념적인 삶을 사는 사람들을 따라간다.

Kôichi is a Japanese man living alone in Berlin. He has no job and hardly any friends. One night Kôichi meets Ryota at a bar which is also a sex club. Ryota came to Berlin to visit a German guy whom he had "met" on a dating app. His high hopes for romance (and marriage?) were quickly crushed since the German was only interested in sex, not even letting Ryota stay for the night. That is why Ryota ended up spending the night in the dark room of the sex club. Kôichi for some reason lets Ryota stay at his apartment. They have sex. Ryota goes out almost everyday to get laid by various local men and comes home to Kôichi's. Increasingly caught up with a strange feeling that is akin to but not quite frustration or curiosity (needless to say, it is not even close to love), Kôichi gradually gives himself up to sex with Ryota.
