One morning, a salaryman notices metal growing out of his skin, soon to cover his entire body. There seems to be a connection to the stranger he recently hit with a car. Presently, a confrontation with said man arises, climaxing with apocalyptic proportions. Shinya TSUKAMOTO’s feature debut from 1989 revels in grotesque stop motion effects and bizarre sexual fantasies.
