Three tales tackling the conundrum of compliance as filtered through the social psyche of Japan where rules are followed to the letter and results can be painful, harmful, and ultimately, absurd. Three shorts and three supplements tackle the theme of "compliance." In the first story, a directionless wannabe actress finds herself wedged between her parents' wishes and those of a strong-willed director. Next, a police officer and his robot sidekick take on baddies resorting to outrageous crime prevention methods that give new meaning to the notion, "the end justifies the means." Finally, self-regulated speech within the Japanese broadcast system crafted to promote social sensitivity, something akin to the idea of "political correctness," is taken to its dizzying and wholly absurd conclusion.
