Well, this film is certainly something. It's an impossible mix of elements, most of which don't fit together at all, but Ugana created something magical with them. You have to be willing to go with the flow (as the film will ultimately explain) and accept the weirdness that is thrown at you, but if you like a bit of crazy, this film is 100% for you.
Out of the blue, strange creatures are appearing in people's homes. They look like the tentacle porn monsters from hentai films, but they come in peace and want to befriend humans. After the initial shock, they quickly become part of everyday life, which presents new problems for them.
So yeah, you get a shlocky setup, presented as a certified arthouse project (including a squarish aspect ratio, quirky score, and stylish, black-and-white cinematography), illustrating a valid life lesson that is revealed at the end of the film. It kind of makes sense, but only if you care to embrace how nonsensical it truly is. Cool film!
