Chasuke, who serves tea in heaven, is sent to earth to prevent a young woman’s predestined death in a car accident. But this is only the first of several interventions in the fate of other humans, with Chasuke soon finding himself in an adventurous odyssey. Once again, cult director Sabu mixes several genres to tell an inventive story full of surprises.
