Yuzuru Kuroshima is the grandmaster of „Transcendent Dogeza“, an art developed from the traditional Japanese way of apologizing. No matter what mistake you have made, Yuzuru’s method will solve all problems. Soon even top diplomats seek his advice. Director Nobuo MIZUTA and comedy ace Sadao ABE team up once more in this festival of absurdities, taking a shot at Japanese idiosyncracies.
