The film is an unconventional love story set in Japan, directed by visual artist Matthew Barney. It primarily takes place aboard the Japanese factory whaling vessel, the Nisshin Maru, in the Sea of Japan. The narrative structure is built upon themes such as the Shinto religion, the tea ceremony, the history of whaling, and the supplantation of blubber with refined petroleum for oil. Two storylines occur simultaneously on the vessel: one on deck involving the casting of a 25-ton petroleum jelly sculpture, and one below deck where the two main characters participate in a tea ceremony and undergo an emotional and physical transformation from land mammals into sea mammals as they fall in love.
