The Kobayashi family finally are able to move out of their tiny, cramped Tokyo apartment to the suburban house of their dreams. But things are not as perfect as they seem: the house is infested by termites and the family starts going crazy: Son Masaki is studying so obsessively for his exams that he's losing his mind; daughter Erika (Yûki Kudô) is oblivious of all but her forthcoming record company audition, grandfather Yasukuni (Hitoshi Ueki) starts getting World War II flashbacks and father Katsuhiko (Katsuya Kobayashi) is so worried about his family's "sickness" that he thinks can only be cured by group suicide. As the Kobayashis' house begins to crumble, so does the sanity of its inhabitants. Katsuhiko takes it upon himself to keep them from the asylum...at any cost.
