A boy plays in the sand on a beach. He notices smoke rising from the slag heap of a nearby coal mine. A young woman appears before him and speaks gently to him. In her, he glimpses the image of his deceased mother, though she relates to him like a sister. The next day, he returns to the same spot, waiting patiently for her to reappear, only to find a marble buried in the sand.

Young art student Hideo paints an unnerving portrait of Tomie, who whispers that she loves him. Inexplicably, he reacts by stabbing her to death with a painting trowel. Two friends, Takumi and Shunichi, arrive on the scene and help him dispose of the body. To cheer him up, the boys take the unwitting murderer to the nearest bar for a party... but a mysterious girl named Tomie shows up, bearing a few odd physical resemblances to the dead girl in the ground.
