Synopsis :
Suzuki and Hamasaki are best fishing friends, and even though Suzuki, the old man, is actually the president of the company, they affectionately call each other "Su­san" and "Hama­chan," keeping their relationship secret from employees of the company. They work at a construction company, and for Hama­chan nothing is more important than fishing — even promotions. Hama­chan and his wife, Michiko, have been tormented over the fact that they are unable to have a child. As usual, Su­san calls Hama­chan to lure him on a weekend fishing trip. Hama­chan says: "Let's go to Hoshigaura on the Izu Peninsula and do some flounder fishing." Su­san is surprised at hearing this, for he holds strong memories of the time he spent half a­year there in the military.
This is only the first surprise. Upon their arrival in Hoshigaura, they happen to go fishing together with a beautiful lady; Yukiko, who turns out to be the daughter of Su­san's old girlfriend during his stay in Hoshigaura during the war. Yukiko informs him that her mother recently passed away. Sad and shocked, Su­san presents her with money to erect a grave stone after returning home. After thinking through this situation, Hama­chan thinks to himself, "I bet Yukiko is his secret daughter!" About this time, a protest movement against the planned Hoshigaura Resort had just begun and Yukiko and Hama­chan participate in the protests. In fact, Hama­chan's company is the development's planner, although after a while Su­san decides to quit this particular project. Despite being an employee of the development company, Hama­chan supported the movement, and the bosses of Hama­chan suspend him from work for two weeks for violating company rules. All the same, Hama­chan looks forward to fishing for two weeks with Su­san. On the boat, Hama­chan calls Michiko at the hospital by Su­san's portable telephone, expecting to hear that they have a baby.
