Monsters and Nonconformity in the Land of the Rising Sun
This exuberant tribute to Japanese popular culture brings the works of artist Taro Okamoto to life. Accompanied by an unlikely team of protectors, they are tasked with saving the 1970 Osaka Expo from a destructive future. Giant monsters, handmade special effects and absurd humour run wild in a tokusatsu as inventive as it is delirious, where nonsense becomes a true manifesto of artistic freedom.
