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.
