Summary
A hypochondriac office drone toiling in a soul-crushing job is told by a doctor he has a rare terminal illness and only months to live. A wealthy industrialist offers him a lavish final adventure: travel to a remote Pacific island and leap into a volcano to appease its god in exchange for a mineral deal. On the voyage he meets a trio of women played by the same actress and begins to rediscover the will to live.
