Short description
While wandering around Japan, defective sex cyborg Pinocchio encounters Kyoko, another amnesiac burdened with a terrible secret tied to her amnesia. Together, they strive to rebuild their lives in a world where memory has become obsolete.
What's left behind the scenes
- The movie was filmed in a residential neighborhood. There was so much screaming that residents of nearby houses began complaining about the noise and threatening to call the police; consequently, the filmmakers bought a box of chocolates for the residents of every house, which allowed them to continue filming.
- During filming, an old wheelchair was used as a makeshift dolly.
- The film's director, Shozin Fukui, trained Onn Chan for the shoot in literally one week. She never acted in another film.
- Using a fog machine would have been too expensive, so the filmmakers used smoke bombs to achieve the desired effect.
- The film's budget was extremely modest. The filmmakers often shot secretly to avoid spending their already limited resources on obtaining permits. In crowd scenes in Tokyo, unsuspecting passersby were filmed instead of professional actors. Everything had to be shot in haste—again, due to the lack of official permits, which the police would have certainly objected to.
