The movie is set in Japan, in the year
2030. Because of a sudden decline in
the global oil production, prices of
commodities have risen steeply and the
domestic unemployment rate is the worst
since the end of World War ll. In short,
Japan is undergoing a hyper-recession period,
which has brought turmoil all over the country.
At the start of the movie, a news
broadcast shows people protesting
against the increasing prices in
the country. People have come out
of their homes as they don’t have any source
of income because of the rising unemployment.
Meanwhile, at the government employment
office, we are introduced to the protagonist,
Yumoto. Just like everyone else, Yumoto also has
been badly impacted by the current crisis. He asks
the job placement officer for a suitable job, but
unfortunately, there is none. It turns out that
this has been Yumoto’s fourth visit to the office
this week. As he argues with the officer for a
job, the lights suddenly go out. This shows how
critical the situation of the country has become.
Later, a devastated Yumoto wanders around a park
and stumbles across a peeing boy statue. The words
‘useless guy’ have been scribbled on the statue
and seeing this, Yumoto resonates it to himself.
He then takes out a handkerchief and begins
erasing the words. After he’s cleaned up the whole
statue, he gets a sudden urge to pee and rushes
to find a bathroom. Meanwhile, the statue boy
mysteriously pees a drop of dark substance from
its weener, as if Yumoto has summoned the Genie.
In the next scene, Yumoto finally
finds a bathroom but when he enters,
he is disappointed to find that they’re not
in use anymore. Despite no one being around,
and the place still being a bathroom, he
chooses not to pee as the Japanese are
strict with their manners. However, when
his urinary bladder reaches its limit,
he forgets all his ethics and goes to a
nearby bush to pee. There, he notices a fire,
and decides to extinguish it with his pee,
claiming that it is dangerous for nature.
Surprisingly, when he starts, instead of pee, a
dark substance comes out of his manhood. As soon
as the liquid touches the fire, it bursts into
large flames, as if the liquid is combustible.
Here, it is finally revealed that the peeing
boy statue has rewarded Yumoto with a unique
ability for his kindness. He can produce
an unlimited amount of oil just by peeing.
Startled by the strange incident,
Yumoto immediately heads to a doctor
to get examined. He provides a sample of his
urine, and after inspecting it, the doctor is
taken aback. Yumoto inquires if everything is
fine, but the doctor simply asks him to wait,
and goes outside. After a while, he brings
two men to the place and points them towards
Yumoto. The men are from the national research
institute, and they are there to escort Yumoto
to their laboratory for research. Yumoto tries his
best to convince them that he is a normal person,
and that he just wants to go home,
but the men drag him to their van.
On their way to the lab, Yumoto again gets a
sudden urge to pee and requests one of the men
for a break. This time, his request is granted,
and the van stops near a secluded jungle. Soon,
Yumoto starts peeing on a tree while the man keeps
an eye on him. Just then, Yumoto notices that his
pee is flowing in the direction of the man. At
the same time, the man takes out a cigarette,
and as he is about to light it, he accidentally
drops his lighter. Unfortunately for him,
the burning lighter falls directly into
Yumoto’s pee, causing a large fire. The man is
covered in flames, and hearing his screams, his
colleague rushes to help him. Yumoto is shocked
to witness all this, but nonetheless, he takes
advantage of the opening and makes a run for it.
After running the whole night, Yumoto arrives at
a small village the next morning and collapses
to the ground. Just then, a village girl comes
across his pitiful state, and takes him home.
When he regains consciousness, he finds an old
man staring at him. Startled, Yumoto immediately
gets up and inquires about the man’s identity,
and the latter replies that he is the mayor of
the village. Meanwhile, the same girl who brought
Yumoto to the place, Jiaokou, enters the room with
some food. She is the mayor’s assistant, and is
one of the most beautiful girls in the village.
As soon as Yumoto sees the food, he starts
devouring it, as he hasn’t eaten since a day.
Later, the mayor along with his group
take Yumoto to the village fields,
which have become completely barren. He explains
that after the country started going through
hyper-recession, the farmers couldn’t afford
oil and thus, the farming tractors were no
longer operable. Because of this, the village,
which was once a very productive farming area,
has now become deserted. The mayor also reveals
that most of the youths in the village have fled
to Tokyo for a better life, and now, all
that remains are old people and cattle.
Hearing all this, Yumoto becomes sad. He
remembers the saying ‘with great powers
comes great responsibilities’ and decides
to test himself out. He excuses himself,
picks up an empty bottle, and heads
inside the nearby woods. As the mayor
and Jiaokou watch in suspense, Yumoto starts
peeing inside the bottle, and once again,
he discharges oil. Seeing this, the
mayor immediately covers Jiaokou’s eyes.
After Yumoto is done, he pours the collected
oil into the tractor and starts the engine.
Surprisingly, the tractor comes to life, leaving
the mayor and his group stunned. Yumoto then bids
goodbye to the group and prepares to leave,
however, the mayor requests him to stay.
In the next scene, Yumoto is taken to the village
school, where he is offered a job. At first,
he thinks that he will become a teacher, but when
the mayor shows him his empty basement-like room,
he becomes confused. Soon, the mayor introduces
him to Sumiko, the school caretaker, who will now
assist Yumoto in his job. The job is simple, all
he has to do is drink a lot of water and urinate.
Yumoto is initially skeptical about the job,
but since he has nowhere else to go, he accepts.
Next, we see an inspiring montage of Yumoto
drinking water and filling several gallon
jars with his pee. As he does his business, Sumiko
notes down his performance and smiles like a proud
teacher. By the end of the day, he has accumulated
30 jars of pee, prompting the mayor and his men to
clap for him. Yumoto is happy, as for the first
time in his life, he has done something useful.
Because of his heroics, the whole village comes
back to life. The farmers start harvesting the
crops in their fields and public buses are
in full operation. From one of the buses,
two women come out and start talking about the
miraculous discovery of oil in their village.
They also talk about how their village is the
only one to not suffer power outages. Yumoto,
who has also come out of the same bus,
overhears their conversation and smiles.
Later, he returns to his office, and starts his
usual business. After a few hours, he completes
his quota of 100 liters and decides to leave,
but just then, the mayor arrives and orders him
to produce more oil. By this time, greed has set
into his mind, and he wants more oil for himself.
Hearing this, Yumoto claims that he is already
tired, but the mayor forces him to start peeing.
In the evening, Yumoto meets with Jiaokou and
the two talk about their daily lives. When Yumoto
reveals that he is working extra shifts, Jiaokou
mentions that the mayor is cunning, and that she
doesn’t like him. However, she says that Yumoto
is doing a great job by helping the villagers.
Meanwhile, at the school, a delegate from
the national research institute, Shinji,
arrives and confronts the mayor. He warns
the old man to reveal whatever he is hiding,
since the village has been producing a
lot of oil lately. However, the mayor,
who is unphased by the threats, replies that
he doesn’t have anything to hide. With this,
Shinji leaves, but not before
promising to come back again.
Elsewhere, as Yumoto and Sumiko go on with
their daily work, the power suddenly goes
out. As a result, Yumoto decides to take
a break, and heads to explore the other
rooms in the school. Because of the
darkness, he carries a torch with him. When
Yumoto reaches a bit further, he notices
a few drops of oil on the floor. Shocked,
he follows the droplets and reaches a warehouse,
which has several barrels of oils stored in it.
In the next scene, an enraged Yumoto confronts
the mayor for his lies and demands answers. To
his surprise, the mayor mentions that it’s all
business, and that he was just storing the oil
to sell to other cities. Hearing this, Yumoto
becomes even more angry and decides to head
down to the warehouse to retrieve the oil and
distribute it amongst the villagers. However,
before he can proceed, he is captured by
the mayor’s men. While being taken away,
he is devastated to find out that
Sumiko knew about the secret all along.
Later, Yumoto is tied up in an isolated room, and
ordered to continue working. When he refuses, the
men attach a pipe to his mahood, hoping that his
pee will get collected in a jar. They then warn
him that if he holds his pee for long, he might
suffer from urinary tract infection. After the men
leave, Yumoto tries his best to hold his pee, but
with each minute passing, it becomes increasingly
difficult. Soon, he reaches a point where he can’t
hold it anymore but just then, Jiaokou arrives at
the scene and rescues him. She then tells him that
they must escape the place as soon as possible.
Wasting no time, Yumoto gets up and the two run
inside the woods. After a while, the mayor and
his men catch wind of the escape, and immediately
begin a search operation. On reaching the woods,
he finds some oil in a tree, and deduces
that it came out of Yumoto. The mayor then
provides the oil sample to his dog, who in
turn starts tracking the runaway couple.
Elsewhere, Yumoto and Jiaokou reach an abandoned
house, where they light a fire and start an
awkward conversation. Jiaokou mentions that the
villagers are completely dependent on Yumoto’s
pee, and that they are willing to swallow it, if
that’s the only way to preserve it. Hearing this,
Yumoto becomes sad, and he blames himself for
bringing hope to the villagers. He then starts
punching his crotch, hoping to destroy
his oil tank. However, Jiaokou stops him
and asks him to save the world with his pee.
She also mentions that he is the chosen one,
whose pee has the ability to change people’s
lives. The speech finally inspires Yumoto,
and he agrees to use his pee
for the betterment of humanity.
Following this, the duo start
making out, and while they are busy,
we see a drop of oil appearing out of
nowhere and dropping into the fire.
The next morning, as the couple is still
asleep, the mayor and his men arrive at the
place. They immediately wake the duo up, and
apprehend them. As they are about to leave,
Shinji suddenly barges inside the house with
several armed officers. He then threatens the
mayor to hand Yumoto over to him, but the latter
refuses. The mayor then reveals that his plan
was to produce large amounts of oil, so that his
village can become an independent country, and he
will become the king. On the other hand, Shinji
mentions that the national research institute
is after Yumoto, as they want to research on
him, and create several other oil-producing
humans. If they succeed in this, they can sell
the oil at high prices and rule the world.
Meanwhile, Yumoto becomes disgusted after
hearing the fantasies of both the parties.
Having had enough, he breaks free from his captors
and tells everyone that oil is not there to make
ugly fights with people. Instead, oil exists
to make everyone happy. Saying this much,
he picks up a burning stick from the
fire and points it at Shinji. At first,
Shinji is unbothered, as he believes that
Yumoto is fighting a failing battle. However,
when the oilman brings out his manhood, everyone
in the room is terrified. They plead with him to
stop, but Yumoto pees on the burning stick.
Surprisingly, instead of exploding the place,
the pee extinguishes the fire. Shocked, Yaumoto
tries one more time, but again, the same result.
With this, he realizes that his superpowers have
finally come to an end. Realizing this, the mayor
and Shinji also decide to become friends, as
there is nothing left to fight for anymore.
The scene then cuts forward to several
years, where Yumoto is still in the village,
working as a counselor. He has married Jiaokou
and the couple has a son together. The movie ends
as their infant son pees a mysterious liquid,
which looks like a portal to another dimension.
