Jesus--Son of God, and Buddha--The Awakened One have decided to enjoy some time off together in the world of the mortals after safely greeting the Millennium. The two Holy Men share an apartment in the city of Tachikawa, in Tokyo, and are currently enjoying the lifestyles of mortals, and the beautiful seasons of Japan. The film depicts the holy roommates enjoying their day-in-the-life experiences in Tachikawa with the neighbors of the Hustle Shopping Arcade, their apartment manager Ms. Matsuda, and the local kids. The 'Saint-Young-Men's'' life here is definitely filled with joy and laughter.
