The film is set in Tokyo at an unspecified point in the near future when the Japanese yen has become the strongest currency in the world. This attracts an influx of immigrants, legal and illegal, to work in the city. The immigrants give the city the nickname Yen Town (円都, ien taun). The Japanese natives, however, despise the nickname, and in retribution call the immigrants by the homophone Yen Thieves (円盗, ien taun), anglicised as "Yentowns" in the film's English subtitles.

Mariko vit la vie d'une étudiante japonaise typique des années 70, passant beaucoup plus de temps à concilier petits amis et emplois à temps partiel qu'à ses devoirs. Elle se retrouve déchirée entre un ancien petit ami qui est du genre dur, insensible mais sexy, et une nouvelle connaissance qui est plus sensible à ses sentiments, mais qui agit encore parfois de manière puérile et égoïste. Va-t-elle en choisir un ou décider de suivre son propre chemin ?
