Dubbed a "pink musical", the film unites musicals and "pinku eiga" (a soft-core porn genre of Japanese cinema) - in a story of unrequited love with water creatures. Thirtysomething Asuka has an easy life, a job in a fish factory, and a fiancé, Taki, who is also her boss. One day, as she walks by the lake near the factory, she sees her first kappa-a legendary Japanese creature with a human form but a beak face and a tortoiseshell back. She soon realizes that the kappa is her old friend from school, Aoki, who drowned when he was 17. As she hides Aoki from her fiancé and others, she must begin to decide what is most important for her.
