In this film, set on a university campus with an adjacent hospital, cult director ISHII confronts a group of people, going about their everyday lives, with the sudden end of the world, adapting a play by Shiro MAEDA. The result is a farcical ensemble comedy deftly mixing absurd humour with philosophical questions about life and death.
