Kushami (Tatsuya Nakadai) is a teacher given to flights of philosophy as he mulls over life and its meanings, unaware that his gray cat is observing life at home with his own version of a philosophers eye. Kushamis relatives dominate the action as they move in and out of romantic liaisons broadly characterized by an unusual combination of satire, slapstick, and vulgarity.~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
