Matsuoka is a teacher at a culinary school. One day, his student Tashiro says something strange during class: “There’s a noise, it’s like a chime. Someone is sending me a message.” The school administration warns Matsuoka that Tashiro is a little strange. Tashiro then announces that half of his brain has been replaced by a machine and resorts to drastic measures to prove it. In class a few days after this incident, a female student called Akemi expresses discomfort at the way the sight of a whole chicken makes her feel. Matsuoka is filled with a vague sense of unease. A strange horror starts to creep into his life, both at school and at home. (Berlinale)
