A teenager, Kafka Tamura, runs away from home to escape an Oedipal prophecy or to search for his missing mother and sister. Nakata, an old man marked by war trauma, feels drawn to Kafka without knowing why. When their paths cross, talking cats appear, fish fall from the sky, and spirits leave their bodies.
