Two bodies are found brutally slaughtered, one after another, seemingly murdered in their sleep. Detective Keiko seeks the help of the Nightmare Detective, who is able to go into people’s dreams–only to find that he is depressed and suicidal, disgusted by the repulsive nature of human beings. Welcome to “Tsukamoto’s World,” filled with the director’s trademark recipe of violence, eccentricity and brooding beauty.
