In images veering from literal to cryptic to surreal, the movie presents a society where the weak are exploited and the vulnerable unprotected.

Shiota piles tons of symbolic baggage on his pint-size protagonists, who luckily rise to the challenge.

Writer-director Akihiko Shiota's dramatic strategies are limited to the point of monotony.
