Yosuke, gentile impiegato disoccupato, viaggia da Tokyo in un villaggio della penisola di Noto alla ricerca di un tesoro che non c’è. V’incontra la bella Saeko che ha la prodigiosa qualità di traboccare d’acqua (di vita) ogni volta che ha un accoppiamento sessuale o quando trasgredisce a una legge sociale. I suoi flussi d’acqua tiepida ridanno vita alle piante e attirano frotte di pesci. È un inno alla vita terrena e alla necessità di trasgredire regole e convenzioni per riaffermarne i diritti. Anche per ragioni anagrafiche, evoca la libera leggerezza dell’ultimo Buñuel.
