A young man named Walter finds himself feeling alienated from the rest of the world because he loves his stamp collection so much. He sees a therapist looking for advice but the best suggestion he can make is to try to lessen his love of stamps. Saddened by this option as well as the prospect of spending the rest of his life alone, Walter decides to spend a week deciding what to do. On the sixth day Walter happens upon a clue that might lead him to a girl who would share his eccentricity and goes on a small odyssey to track her down.
