Gyakufunsha-Kazoku

The Kobayashi family can finally move out of their tiny, cramped apartment in Tokyo and into the house of their dreams on the outskirts of the city. But things are not as perfect as they seem: The house is infested with termites and the family starts to go crazy: Son Masaki studies so obsessively for his exams that he loses his mind; daughter Erika thinks only of her upcoming audition with a record company; grandfather Yasukuni gets flashbacks from World War II; and father Katsuhiko is so worried about his family's “illness” that he believes it can only be cured by group suicide. As the Kobayashi house begins to crumble, so does the sanity of its inhabitants. Katsuhiko takes it upon himself to keep them away from the asylum ... at all costs.
