Plot
Yako is a small town that serves as the symbol of Kawasaki, the main city in the Keihin Industrial Area. This area was the core of the huge expansion of the Japanese economy after World War II. Munakata arrives in Yako following his release from a juvenile detention center, where he has spent the past 10 years, after killing his mother when he was 15. Here he hopes to begin a new life in freedom, despite the heavy burden of guilt he still carries. He joins the workers at International Electronics Industry, making test products for precision machines, and lives in a humble company apartment. But the new life for which he has waited so long quickly becomes a mundane, normal existence lacking anything to move his heart or give him excitement. One day, a girl called Yukari visits his room. She is the daughter of Matsumura, who is a priest and runs a strange congregation called Maltel Community – Kawasaki Semi Evangelical Church. She invites him to attend the church’s Sunday services. Around the same time, Matsumura visits Munakata and asks him to do a secret job: to make a gun out of an old TV remote control. Munakata accepts the job and visits Tamura Industry to buy the parts he needs. At first he can only get faulty parts, but Kazue, the owner’s wife, exchanges them for him. Munakata starts making many of these weapons; at the same time, he starts an affair with Kazue, who reminds him of his mother. But these strange, peaceful days do not last. Munakata is plagued by memories of his crime and the words of his counselor at the juvenile detention center. When the owner of International Electronics Industry dies, Munakata is forced to face many difficult facts.
