Synopsis

The feared gang leader Hanbei is, in fact, an elderly man with a soft heart. What's more, the one actually pulling the strings from in the shadows is his cunning wife Oise. When Ginji, an assassin, is sent to kill him, a strange bolt of lightning causes their souls to switch bodies, and both of them will have to get used to their new bodies, creating chaos in their wake. A lavishly filmed theatrical work that recovers elements from Japanese fantastic folklore.
