Synopsis

Yusuke Mamiana, a man in his middle age, came to a port town in the countryside. As ugly and unfriendly Yusuke is, his job doesn't come out well and so does his relation with others. The phrase he often said was "Man, I am tired of living." The place he arrived at last was a hometown he used to live in his early days. The town was where his parents abandoned and left him to be alone.
At the town, no one recognizes him, they rather gave a dubious look to his unpleasant attitude. Among those, he meets a girl, Kyoko, the only one who gave a smile instead of staring at him. Kyoko had a strong complex about being love with someone because of her birthmark in her face. Yusuke, believing Sex is the only thing that could prove he is living, approaches Kyoko, nearly rapes her, and had a relationship with her. Kyoko disgusted by him in the first place, somehow continued the relation as she was treated as a woman.
Soon, they become a "Family" by receiving an unexpected child, resulted by their impulsive satisfaction. Yusuke started to feel a sort of "happiness" like others. But it never lasted long. He finds his sadness and anger exploding by facing and looking at his family without any smiles.
