在日本甲府的偏僻山村，国产宁静的乡间小道上行驶着一辆又老又旧的巴士。司机园田（藤原鶏太 饰）和美丽的女售票员阿驹（高峰秀子 饰）每日起早贪黑，国产迎来送往去向各处的客人。虽则努力多多，但是收入一向微薄，难见起色。迫于生计，公司独辟蹊径，决定打造一条专门面向各地游客的旅游线路。园田和阿驹为这个设想所触动，二人开始着手准备起来。适逢自称小说家的井川（夏川大二郎 饰）来此游览当地名胜，他们于是拜托井川，撰写游览所用的演讲稿……本片根据井伏鱒二的短篇小说《おこまさん》改编，是导演成濑巳喜男和女演员高峰秀子首次合作的作品。

回复 :ynopsis from Time Out Film Guide: Between the seemingly idyllic opening and closing scenes depicting a rural community, first at church, then at the village festival, Fleischmann attacks that community's prejudices and ignorance without remorse. His very precisely observed portrait of Bavarian life begins with little more than a display of the villagers' constant ribbing, bawdy humour, continuous gossip, and more than a hint of their slow-wittedness. With the return of a young man, their idle malice and childish clowning, always on the edge of unpleasantness, receive some focus: quite without foundation, the lad is victimised as a homosexual. The crippling conformity of their ingrained conservatism leads the villagers to reject anything 'different': a young widow is ostracised, more for her crippled lover and idiot son than her morals; a teacher is frozen out because she's educated; the casual destruction of the young 'homosexual' is given no more thought than the cutting up of a pig. Not Germany in the '30s but the '70s; nevertheless the political parallels are clear. An impressive film.

回复 :导演杨获得了电影学院的电影拍摄资金，他需要拍摄一部电影交差。在伦敦和朋友观看戏剧《海上夫人》，半梦半醒间他萌生了将戏剧改拍成电影交差的想法。随后他了解到这个戏剧团因为缺少观众即将解散。他盛情邀请戏剧团和他一起将他们表演的易卜生戏剧《海上夫人》拍成电影版。一拍即合的嗜睡的导演带着8名英国演员来到挪威北极圈来进行拍摄，很快就为这里超现实的环境和无尽的白昼所倾倒。但同时，这种环境也放大了演员间的紧张情绪，影响了他们的个人生活和影片的拍摄。只是想应付了事的导演将大权放给了戏剧团队而自己终日呼呼大睡，但演员们对表演的认真和尊重却逐渐影响了杨，最终所有人齐心协力还原了经典的《海上夫人》，电影和参演人员也最终获得了圆满结局。
