This surrealistic comedy follows the life of Haruo Maekawa, a young man who makes a living catching squid. Haruo is obsessed with catching a legendary giant squid rumored to live in Tokyo Bay. Haruo's uncle Takashi, fallen on hard times, comes to stay with his nephew until he can get back on his feet. Uncle Takashi is addicted to energy drinks, and seduces any woman in sight, including Haruo's girlfriend Rika. While praying at a Shintō shrine, Uncle Takashi is bitten in the scrotum by a poisonous snake and dies. The uncle is destined to spend the afterlife in Hell unless his nephew and girlfriend can rescue him from the King of Hell.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Watch out! Comedy meets art-house meets porn. It is advertised on the DVD as a "bizarre trip into the hell of sex". Takeshi visits his nephew; he suffers from Insomnia and whenever he get sleepy, he has the irresistible drive to have sex. For unknown reasons, all women he proposes to (including his nephews girlfriend) cannot resist either. Nor does the nephew mind, since he's busy with his attempt to catch a big squid that was recently seen nearby in the ocean. That's why their home is filled with squid all over. Spoiler to follow: Did I mention all the protagonists end up in hell? If you ever stayed in a cheap hotel overnight, you may have thought it looks like hell – and this film will convince you that you were in fact right! A very strange film with lots of weirdness on the one hand and graphic sexual scenes on the other. Not "different" enough to be a masterpiece, but it can still be enjoyed, sort of.
