Plot

An omnibus movie comprised of four segments:
>> Story 1: "One Snowy Night" (雪山) A plane crashes in a snowy mountain, leaving five survivors. While trying to rescue Mari, who is buried alive, Misa and the others accidentally kill her by cutting her carotid artery with a shovel. The remaining four find shelter in a cabin, but as they wait for rescue, exhaustion and hunger begin to take their toll.
>> Story 2: "Keitai Chushingura" (携帯忠臣蔵) Oishi Kuranosuke, a seemingly insignificant figure, is troubled by the planned raid on Kira Kozukenosuke. One day, he discovers a mysterious mobile phone linked to a future organization that verifies historical events through calls.
>> Story 3: "Chess" (チェス) World chess champion Kato is defeated by the computer 'Super Blue' and vanishes from the chess scene. Years later, now homeless, he’s approached by a wealthy old man for a match. Upon accepting, Kato looks out the window to see people on the street arranged like chess pieces, who begin killing each other in a deadly game.
>> Story 4: "The Marriage Simulator" (結婚シミュレーター) Chiharu, caught in a downpour outside a movie theater, is invited by Yuichi to see a film, sparking the start of their relationship. As they plan their wedding, they try a "Marriage Simulator" and experience an ideal marriage before actually tying the knot.
After their wedding, they face misunderstandings, but things stabilize after the birth of their son. As Yuichi focuses on work and Chiharu becomes a full-time housewife, their differing perspectives lead to a divorce once their son enters school.
Years later, a "10 Years Later" video, meant for their wedding, is mistakenly delivered to them. Chiharu watches Yuichi's message, where he confesses his long-time affection and suggests they watch a movie together again. Moved by his words, Chiharu heads to the theater...
