A
bizarre allegorical tale about a tree named Charisma. Yabuike, a
burned-out hostage negotiator is called in to rescue an MP from
a gun-toting lunatic demanding that "rule of the world"
be restored. In a moment of indecision, he fails to act; as a result,
both the MP and the lunatic die, while Yabuike is sent on a forced
vacation to an unnamed forest area. There he comes upon a single
tree surrounded by an I.V. pole, metal supports, and strange altar-like
objects. Yabuike soon discovers that the locals are enmeshed in
a battle over the tree's future. The plant is staunchly, sometimes
violently defended.
