In the winter of 1922 (Taisho 11), a poet and social activist Nakahama Tetsu (Jitsunashi Satoru) returned from a wandering journey to reunite with Furuta Daijiro (Hirokawa Takeshi) and other comrades. They organized an anarchist organization “Guillotine Society” dreaming of revolution. For their ideal, they targeted the Prince of Wales who visited Japan, but failed in all their attempts. Matsuura Emile (Nakamura Emiko), a soba selling mysterious woman with all foreseeing eyes, comes and goes before them. In September of 1923 (Taisho 12), under martial law, anarchists Osugi Sakae (Kawase Youta) and Ito Noe (Kawada Natsumi) whom members of Guillotine Society adored were taken by Captain Amakasu of the military police, and killed. When they learned of the murder, members of Guillotine Society swore vengeance, and rose up… Then, transcending time, at a cafe, music rings loud….

The Soul Odyssey
Screenplay
A young man is on an inner journey as he searches for meaning in love, eroticism and marriage. He boards a train, and all the clocks are mirrored from then on, as if looking at them from the inside. He travels to a homey village, meets a potential fiancée, then a more sensuous and mysterious stripper.

Long Good-bye
Director
Dreams, signs, fragments, margins, letters, one could also add love and memory to the list. My enchanted kingdom is filled with real aimlessness. The more the better. All that is left behind after it has disappeared is quiet. In the end I feel there hasn't been enough time to play. I want to say good-bye to this irrepressible feeling right around now though. After the color, the shape and the words have disappeared what will be left? Perhaps that is the tragedy of the twentieth century.

I've Heard the Ammonite Murmur
Screenplay
Ammonites were a kind of snail-like precursor to today's mollusks, common in the seas of the Cretaceous period, many millions of years ago. They are among the most commonly found fossils, so they must have been extremely plentiful. In this meditative and largely unstructured first feature, a young geologist is traveling by train to visit his sister in the countryside after having received a disturbing and mysterious letter from her. As he travels, he remembers his childhood fixation with rocks, nurtured by his mother, and his very strong affection for his sister.

아키라(明)는 죽은 어머니가 흥얼거리던 노래의 가사를 찾아 여행하고 있다. 소년은 교장이나 승려를 찾아가 가르침을 청하기도 한다. 소년이 여행 중에 생각하는 것은 죽은 어머니에 대한 일뿐이었다. 소년의 집 뒤편에 있는 토담 창고에는 지요조(千代女)라는 미친 여자가 살고 있는데, 소년이 그녀 가까이 가면 어머니가 호되게 꾸짖곤 했다. 항간의 소문에 의하면, 그녀는 아버지가 좋아했던 식모라고 한다. 어머니는 그런 사실을 알고 화가 나, 그녀를 10년 동안이나 창고에 가두고 있다는 것이다. 어느 날 아키라는 공놀이를 하는 아름다운 소녀를 만나, 그녀를 뒤쫓아간다. 그러다가 한 저택에 들어서게 되는데, 그곳에서 요괴들이 공놀이를 하고 있다. 그 크고 작은 공들 중에는 어머니의 머리도 끼어 있다. 그리고 어느새 무대는 아키라의 장례식으로 변한다. 그것은 꿈이었다. 아키라는 다시 여행을 떠나는데……
