"... every time I make a new film, I challenge something new, and I
do not feel like making the same kind of films all the time. There was
some time between Pulse and this one, thus, I included something new,
different from my old stuff."
Kiyoshi Kurosawa
The story opens with an enigmatic Mamaru who lives alone with his
poisonous but hauntingly luminous jellyfish. These attractive loners sting
whoever gets too close. Yuji, an emotionally unstable young man working at
the same factory, is fascinated and influenced by Mamaru. When Mamaru is
arrested for murdering his boss, Yuji is devoted to taking care of his
jellyfish and, befriending Mamarus father, he begins to open his eyes to
reality.
