Plebeian Inn(1975)

A young man and his friend, self-proclaimed nihilists, set out on a two-seater motorcycle to swim in Chikura, Chiba Prefecture, but get lost at dusk. Along the way, they met a vendor from Yamanashi, who introduced them to an old woman who lived alone, and together they stayed at her farmhouse. The group drank whiskey on the old woman's recommendation, and after the old woman fell asleep, the peddler told them of his tearful story.
