<story>
A well-established strip theatre in Hiroshima is on the verge of closure. Its manager, Kinoshita, gives an interview to the press, remembering its flamboyant past. A relationship with a particular stripper had marked his entrance into the world of burlesque. The strippers arrive for their last performance on stage, including an enigmatic, young dancer and a well-known veteran of the stage. Kinoshita recalls a long-forgotten love as the end approaches. In his breast, the jostling emotions of regret and youthful ardor begin to stir. Then, the curtains rise for the final performance. The patrons gaze at something beyond the nude flesh on display. As the act nears its end, Kinoshita remembers a shared secret with a stripper that he had hidden away in his breast. A bright vision unfolds on the stage and Kinoshita is transported back into a beautiful dream.
