Director Takeshi Kitano presents a two-part film: a serious yakuza action and a self-parodying comedy of the same story.

Young boy Shinnosuke gains telekinetic abilities from cosmic white light. Mitsuru Hiriya obtains psychic powers from black light, aims to destroy Earth. Amidst Japan's fear, Shinnosuke emerges as hero against Hiriya's threat.

Akiko Ohku's film follows Yoshiko as she enjoys life's simple pleasures - riding her beloved bike, indulging in a drink or two in the evening - as she narrates her thoughts through a hypnotic internal monologue.
