A surreal dystopian romance set in an alternate Japan where World War II never ended and the country is in ruins.
"Macoto Tezka fashions an alternate universe that is part fantasy, part dystopia, and part social satire." - Japanonfilm.com
Director Macoto Tezka's haunting drama is a surreal dystopian film set in an alternate Japan where World War II never ended and nightly bombing raids have reduced the country to ruins.
Izawa (Tadanobu Asano) is a lowly production assistant in the corporate monolith Media Station, housed in a gleaming building that towers above the ruins of Tokyo. He lives in squalor among pigs and chickens in an old tailor's house, perpetually contemplating suicide.
One day, he discovers a young woman, Sayo (Miyako Koda), the wife of the neighborhood lunatic, hiding in his room, and very soon an odd and beautiful relationship develops between these two deeply lonely souls.
