“Three stories of never-ending love.”
In contemporary Japan, a young man named Matsumoto (Hidetoshi Nishijima) is told by his parents to drop Sawako (Miho Kanno) and marry his boss's daughter. Takeshi Kitano threads the couple's story through the traditions of puppet theater, with other lives running alongside theirs. Yohji Yamamoto's costumes stand out against the scenery, and Sawako and Matsumoto are bound at the waist by a red cord.
