Jean-Pierre Melville, born Jean-Pierre Grumbach, was of Alsatian Jewish descent. Having to flee Nazi-occupied France during World War II, he joined the French Resistance and took the pseudonym Melville, in tribute to American novelist Herman Melville. He subsequently retained his war name as his stage name, once the war was over. This personal experience of the war and in particular of resistance fighting impacted Melville's formative year and has an influence which can be seen in his films.

Yuko Takai and a few other Japanese political activists in the Middle East were kidnapped and used as hostages. Upon returning to Japan, Yuko is mistreated for basically "making ripples in the water;" in other words, for not committing suicide and for making the Japanese look weak. This story is based on the real affairs of the kidnapping of three Japanese political activists by Islamic extreme terrorists in Iraq in April 2004. Yuko Takai is a model of Nahoko Takato, a political activist, who was also harshly criticised by almost all Japanese.

Two men drink at a coffee shop late at night as the film recalls their recent sexual activities. The middle-aged man has just committed his first groping of a woman on a train, and the man in his mid-twenties has just broken up with his unfaithful girlfriend after forcing sex on her. The two speak to each other and the older man gradually becomes a nuisance to the younger man, intent on revealing more and more of his past. Unable to get rid of him, the younger man takes the older man on a late night motorcycle ride through Tokyo. Through a series of flashbacks, it becomes apparent to the audience that the younger man's girlfriend is having an affair with the older man.
