About the film

The Kobayashi family finally are able to move out of their tiny, cramped Tokyo apartment to the suburban house of their dreams. But things are not as perfect as they seem: the house is infested by termites and the family starts going crazy. Son Masaki is studying so obsessively for his exams that he is losing his mind; daughter Erika is oblivious of all but her forthcoming record company audition; the grandfather starts getting World War II flashbacks; and the father is so worried about his family’s “sickness” that he thinks it can only be cured by group suicide. As the Kobayashis’ house begins to crumble, so does the sanity of its inhabitants. He takes it upon himself to keep them from the asylum… at any cost.

From the director of Electric Dragon 80000 V, Crazy Thunder Road and Burst City.

Japanese. English subtitles. 1 hour 47 minutes.
