Three stories of undying love are intertwined. Firstly we have a young couple who are connected by a red cord, as they look for something they have forgotten. Secondly we are introduced to Hiro, an aging yakuza, who thinks about a long lost love he rejected when young, as he returns to the park where they used to meet. Finally we have a disfigured pop star who passes her days looking at the sea. Then she's confronted by her biggest fan.
Kitano produces a beautiful but challenging piece of art, that is deliberately paced slowly, with the stories unfold with minimal dialogue.
