Goda (Shinya Tsukamoto), a successful director of commercials has his life taken apart by the suicide of his girlfriend, who has shot herself with a gun that she was holding for a friend. Becoming obsessed by the need to possess a Smith and Wesson Chief's Special, Goda begins his willful downward decent into a whirlpool of violence. The film traces his efforts to access the Special and his dawning realization of the use he is to make of it. Shot in luminous black and white, this disturbing production maps out the deep need of humanity to make war; in fact, its need to create war. (official distributor synopsis)
