Late evening in Tokyo. A man is on his way home on the subway after a day's work, lost in his daily routine. Suddenly there is an explosion. The man is catapulted into another dimension.
God, metaphorically represented by an old man, "does not play dice"; he prefers to fly kites, souls. He makes them believe that they are free. In reality, he keeps them firmly anchored to a thread, and when he feels like it, he lets them fly or brings them back down to earth. And life's merry-go-round keeps on turning.
