Genuinely original and often comic slow-burn thriller peopled by eccentrics in which a teenager, Masaki, accidentally breaks the arm of a yakuza in a fight, leaving himself and the gas station where he works open to reprisals. Masaki and two friends fly to Okinawa to buy a gun for protection only to be caught up in a gang war when they tag along with an off-the-wall yakuza played by Takeshi.
