Japanese comedy drama written and directed by Sion Sono. In Tokyo, shy office worker Ryoichi Suzuki (Hiroki Hasegawa) is tired of everybody picking on him, his unfulfilling job and not being able to tell his colleague Yuko (Kumiko Asô) his true feelings for her. But his life drastically changes when he buys a pet turtle, he names Pikadon, and confides in his tiny new friend his dreams of becoming a famous rock star. After Ryoichi's colleagues cruelly force him to flush his pet turtle down the toilet Pikadon reappears from the sewers with magic powers, determined to do all he can to transform his owner's dreams into reality.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. For shy and awkward Ryoichi, dreams of musical superstardom have long since faded and he s resigned himself to a lifetime of unrewarding office work for a company that barely acknowledges his existence. But when he randomly buys a pet turtle named Pikadon, a series of events are put into place that not only give Ryoichi the chance to fulfil his rock and roll fantasies, they might just bring about the end of the world. With more imagination in the first ten minutes than most films can boast in their entire running time, Love and Peace is pure Sono: a bonkers and uproarious one-of-a-kind that simply has to be seen to be believed.
