Only by searching their souls and examining the past will Toola and Agito realize the origin of all things.

Description

A struggling news reporter (Kenichi Endo) keeps pushing boundaries to impress his superiors, eventually winding up in a motel room with his estranged daughter. Back home, his bullied son takes his violent rages out on his mother, who has turned to heroin to cope and must prostitute herself to afford the habit. Into this scene of severe family dysfunction steps Q, a mysterious stranger with a knack for knowing just what each family member needs most — whether it's a rock to the head, a sexual reawakening, or a bout of murder. Takashi Miike's most transgressive film is unflinching yet darkly humorous, pushing the limits of filmic representation as far as they will go.
