Vacation deals with the darkness in the heart of the death row inmate who has been deprived of all hope, the anguish of the prison guards who are burdened with their appointed task of robbing the inmate's future, and the feelings of profound sadness and love of the people involved in these men's lives.  Hirai, a veteran prison guard, is one of such men. He is about to get married to Mika, a single mother.  One day before the wedding, the date of execution is set for Kaneda, one of the death row inmates. Hirai finds out that if he acts as the supporter (the execution assistant) during the execution, hell be entitled to a weeks vacation. So he volunteers for this job, one which everybody loathes, in order to make time to be with his new family.
