Rōnin Kake Junoshin unfortunately kills a hobo who was unlucky enough to be on his way. To justify his action to the local authorities, he invokes the threat of a sect that everyone believed gone. His lie will take on uncontrollable proportions …

Sogo Ishii, author of the marvelous Electric Dragon 80 000 V, Burst City or Labyrinth of Dreams, returns with one of his miraculous works for which he alone knows the secret. This adaptation of Kô Machida's novel - itself a little crazy - begins in a disturbing hysteria before spreading the most disheveled absurdity into his story. If you were desperately searching for a mix of the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Terry Pratchett, in the samurai era, with monkeys all over, look no further.
