In this Japanese comic satire, a 40-something man has amazing powers: with the help of large amounts of electricity, he turns into a giant who has the ability to fight monsters and keep his countrymen safe. Though this might endear him to the Japanese people, they instead turn him into an outcast. He is also plagued by everything from a greedy agent to an unsupportive family. Hitoshi Matsumoto directs and stars in this dryly funny comedy.
