Short description
Detective Nishi is relieved from a stakeout to visit his sick wife in hospital. He is informed that she is terminally ill, and is advised to take her home. During his visit, a suspect shoots one detective dead and leaves Nishi's partner, Horibe, paralyzed. Nishi leaves the police force to spend time with his wife at home, and must find a way to pay off his debts to the yakuza.
What's left behind the scenes
- The word hanabi (meaning "fireworks" in Japanese) consists of two hieroglyphs: hana – "flowers", a symbol of life and love, and bi – "fire", a symbol of cruelty and violent death.
- All the paintings that the paralyzed police officer Horibe draws in the film were painted by Takeshi Kitano.
- In the final scene on the beach, the girl with the kite is played by Takeshi Kitano's daughter, Shoko.
