Run for home base. Cross the city and defeat the enemy. In the future, baseball has become a murderous game in which cyborgs, enhanced for baseball, fight for their lives. Today, in a city abandoned by humans, the game is played on the entire city. He literally defeats the traitors and the players of the opposing team who stand in his way, and then he runs, looking at the corpses of the killed players of the same team beside him. He runs for home base. No matter how many people he kills, no matter who is killed, the cyborg player does not scream, does not shed a tear. No, he may just hide the tears that flow behind his artificial eyelids, the cries that are born in the depths of his artificial throat. In order to fulfill his mission to step on the platform. There is a style that can truly be called "near-future baseball hard-boiled".

Every day is peaceful. There is an elderly couple who live together. The husband still works, albeit sparingly, and the wife does the housework. They eat together, know each other's tastes, and talk a little while watching TV. The film is a quiet account of their unhurried life together. The camera's gaze is quiet but gentle as it carefully follows the old couple, interspersed with summer scenes from the countryside, like a documentary. The camera's gaze is quiet but gentle, and the occasional embarrassing gestures and expressions on the couple's faces give the viewer a sense of closeness to the camera (and to the people holding it). The old man is a very picturesque subject even when he is just standing there, but this film has a peculiar rhythm to it, which may be staged or naturalistic.
