A young man cramming for a government post meets two figures in a park: a middle-aged man worn down by family, nicknamed Side Mirror, and a ragged old man who has agreed to act in pornographic films to fund his daughter's wedding. Seeing his own future in the old man, the young man trails him and ends up on his bench in a worn suit.
