Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
A dark foreboding settles over this taut drama about Kudo (Kenji Sawada), a hitman going through ordinary activities with all the ritual of a choreographed, deadly game. Kudo is settled into a villa in a remote country village, and his only companions are a quarrelsome attendant and a geisha-like woman. By means of elaborate innuendo and some ominous computer print-outs, it slowly becomes clear why the hitman is in this village and what is waiting for him on the not-so-distant horizon.
