(enasccis)"Director Aoyama Shinji (Eureka, Lakeside Murder Case) creates a unique and disturbing look at the future in Eli, Eli, Rema, Sabachthani?. The title of the film comes from the original Aramaic of Jesus' famous utterance from the cross, "My God, My God, why have you foresaken me?" Set in the year 2015, the World, or Japan at least, has fallen under the grip of a powerful disease, called Lemming Syndrome. The disease induces suicidal tendencies in its victims, and as a result the population has been dropping rapidly.
Seeking seclusion and safety from the disease, two experimental musicians, played by Asano Tadanobu (Ichi The Killer, Vital) and Nakahara Masaya, have moved away to the countryside. However, with the aid of a private detective, a wealthy industrialist manages to track down the duo and approaches them with an unexpected plea. Can they come and help save his daughter (Miyazaki Aoi - Nana) from Lemming Syndrome? Could it be possible that a cure for this disease lies within these two musicians' music? Can they really help? "
