    Synopsis:
    Senior Yakuza, Ozaki, appears to be going mad. What began as minor eccentricities have become major problems endangering not only himself but also members of his brotherhood. There is only one option left to the boss - to dispose of him. He orders Minami to take Ozaki to the Yakuza disposal dump in Nagoya and to report to him once the job is done. On the way to Nagoya, Ozaki is killed accidentally.
    After Minami reports the news to his boss, he returns to the car to find that the body has gone. From here we enter a surreal world of bizarre characters and unnatural goings-on, where the only people stranger than the lactating inn owner and the autistic spiritual medium are the mysterious cow-headed demon and the Yakuza who can`t make love without a strategically placed ladle for added stimulation...
