A mysterious octopus-like alien race appears in people’s homes and causes them a heightened sense of pleasure. Soon, the creatures emerge all over Japan and become part of everyday life, until their explosive expansion takes a dramatic turn. A mixed-genre gem with an absurd sense of humor and a fantastic soundtrack, filmed in poignant black-and-white cinematography.
