Synopsis

A Salaryman Kanzaki wakes up for his
daily routine but it’s evident that
something is very wrong. He wanders out
into the streets, being refused a taxi ride
for reasons unknown. When he witnesses
a young purse snatcher named
Yamamoto pull a job, he tracks him down
and inexplicably offers a million yen to
drive him out of Tokyo to “meet a friend.”
Yamamoto reacts violently to Kanzaki’s
odd request and behavior but comes
around when he confirms the cash payoff
is real. At a highway rest stop, Kanzaki
tests the feeling of a noose around his
neck – it’s now clear what his mission is.
At one point Yamamoto abandons
Kanzaki yet returns to honor the job.
Kanzaki ultimately reaches the famous
“sea of trees,” but will Yamamoto allow
him to go through with it?
