"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.
