Over the course of his life Mr Nishino falls hopelessly in love again and again. One woman is a colleague, another is a chance encounter; one is the girlfriend of a classmate, another the best friend of Nishino’s latest conquest. Some are entranced by Nishino, others care more for their freedom, their children…or their cats. Through these ten women we uncover a portrait of a complicated man whose great capacity for love may well be the cause of his downfall.
