This film, like another reviewer pointed out, is a bit like Kurosawa's RASHOMON in that the story is told two ways--from the standpoint of the parents and from the kids. What the truth is really isn't explained. A decent idea, but some of the plot seemed creepy and the animation, while original, is also rather hard on the eyes.
Kids in the neighborhood are told to stay away from a house that is overgrown and spooky. However, one day the kids come by this house and see a man with a bottle of alcohol wander outside after he and his partner were screaming at each other. The kids see him as a great example of "a natural man" and he says hi to the kids. Later, when the place burns down, the kid reasons that his parents must have done it because they were jealous and intimidated by this "natural man". Yeah, whatever. He just seemed like some sort of creeper to me and I didn't get this film at all...
