Takeshi Kitano writes and directs this Japanese drama that takes the form of three short stories inspired by Japanese Bunraku puppet theatre. The first story concerns a young couple roaming the countryside, bound by a red cord. In the second, an elderly yakuza returns to the park where he used to meet the girlfriend he abandoned. Whilst in the third story, a pop star becomes a recluse after an accident, leading one of his fans to visit him and prove the extent of her devotion.
