‘Pyocotan Profile’ teaches us to never eat a blue sandwich

Ryutaro Kajino‘s first feature-length film, Pyocotan Profile, will be playing at Theater Tsutaya starting next Saturday (11/29). I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the plot for a while now. It’s not as much a language barrier as it’s a “wtf?” barrier. But here goes:

A group of teenage girls plan a trip for graduation and find a flyer advertising Gomuniku (rubber meat) Island. The flyer also says they can win prize money if they manage to capture a strange biological anomaly called a “Pyocotan”. Sayori is suspicious of the whole thing and decides not to go, but her two friends go anyway and are promptly abducted. Also, a secret about the Pyocotan is revealed that could doom the entire planet. To find her friends and save the planet Sayori sails to Gomuniku alone. Can the mysterious Pyocotan be captured?
