Synopsis (Google Translate)
After visiting the grave, they return to Koichi’s house. The women start preparing dinner. Numata and Shigeko are in a spare room away from the others. As Numata chants a mantra while beating a drum, Shigeko starts masturbating to the sound. Soon the two start having sex. Fumiko goes to check on Shigeko and witnesses their indecent behavior. Excited, she masturbates in the hallway. In the living room, Noriko pours beer into Koichi’s glass. Startled by the thunder, Noriko instinctively embraces Koichi. Koichi is shaken. Suddenly, Koichi clutches his chest and begins to suffer. In front of Noriko, who is shocked and panicked, Koichi suddenly dies of a heart attack. Koichi’s body is lying on the futon. Fumiko breaks down in tears. The women whisper, wondering if this is all some kind of fate. Numata is alone, looking suspicious. Koichi’s soul is watching them from above. He does not realize that he is dead. The next moment, Koichi is in a familiar landscape. Even though he is used to seeing it, something is different. He follows the guidance and heads for his parents’ house. His father Shukichi (Shimizu Daitaka) and mother Tomi (Mitsuhashi Rie) welcome him, young and energetic. Koichi eats watermelon on the veranda at their invitation. Then Shoji returns with a woman named Setsuko (Yoshiyuki Yumi). What is this? Is Shoji’s wife not Noriko? With such doubts in his mind, Koichi and his family set off fireworks in the garden. At night, when Koichi went to the bathroom, he saw his parents having sex in the bedroom. In another room, Shoji and Setsuko were having sex. When Setsuko said, “I still love your wife…”, Shoji declared, “You’re the only one for me now.” The next day, Koichi was taken by Shoji to the riverside. There were many stones piled up on the riverside. “This is heaven, and my brother is dead,” Shoji said. Shoji said that he came here and got together with Setsuko, whom he met. Shoji said that this was the riverside of Sai, and that the stream flowing there was the Sanzu River. Koichi couldn’t believe it and argued, “Osorezan is more stable these days. Besides, there’s no way such a stingy Sanzu River exists.” However, Shoji bent down and looked at the river surface and said, “You should take a look inside, too, brother.” Koichi looks into the river as he is told. Then, the swaying water surface begins to form a shape. It is Koichi’s house where the memorial service is being held. Everyone accepts Koichi’s death as a fact and starts talking about the future. While Fumiko is still sad, Shigeko talks about inheritance. Her lover Numata needs land and money to build a principal image. Numata is after the real estate Koichi inherited from his parents. Then, the second daughter Kyoko (Misao Sugihara) arrives late. Numata sets his sights on Fumiko and enters her room, chanting the usual mantra. Fumiko, who has become a prostitute, has sex with Numata. Koichi, who is watching the scene from the other world, screams, but there is no way his voice can be heard. Koichi is soaking in the open-air bath. “This is true paradise…” he mutters carefreely, when a naked woman enters. It was Yuriko (Hayashi Yumika), his sweetheart from his school days who died of an illness. As they soak in the bathtub together, Koichi can no longer resist and tries to embrace Yuriko. Yuriko refuses, saying, “No, I’m with someone here. Adultery is strictly prohibited here. If you break the rules, you’ll be sent to hell,” but the two end up making love. The next day, Koichi is summoned by Buddha (Hiraga Kanichi: double role). Koichi goes to see her, resigned to the fact that his affair from the day before has been discovered, but Buddha’s requirements are different. “I didn’t call you here because of my affair. I have to apologize to you. You weren’t supposed to die, but because of a mistake by that bastard Enma, you ended up here instead of another human. I sent my descendant to reform the world, but he became an evil cult leader and started to pursue his own selfish desires. That’s the Numata who came to you. I was planning to bring him back here.” So, Koichi was seen off by his family and crossed the Sanzu River. As they were leaving, Shoji asked him to tell Noriko, “Brother, please tell her to forget about me and start a new life.” Yuriko cried, “I’ll wait for you forever…” Everyone was astonished when Koichi got up from his futon. Fumiko hugged Koichi and cried with joy. Koichi felt refreshed, as if he had woken up from a deep sleep. Numata, who had returned to Tokyo early because he had some business to attend to, was hit by a truck on the highway and died instantly. Shigeko quickly recovered from the shock and went home with Kyoko in her car. Fumiko went out, and Koichi and Noriko were left alone at his house. Koichi said naturally, “Noriko has already done enough for Shoji. From now on, I have to forget about her and start a new life.” Noriko then said, “I’ve actually always loved you, brother-in-law. Please hold me just once. Then I can move forward.” Pushed by her enthusiasm, Koichi embraced Noriko.
