Synopsis:
Starting with one of the big advertising screens in Tokyo, cargo
introduces itself in the form of a bag to a young Japanese guy called
Komatsu. Meeting point: a trashcan in Shibuya (the biggest trainstation
in Tokyo). There would be nothing unusual about this if it were not
for the cell phone in the bag which all of a sudden starts to ring
and Komatsu gets the order to leave the bag somewhere. There the problems
starts because people in Tokyo are supposed to be honest and
Komatsu is not really able to get rid of the bag. The bag ends up where
it was found and the story could go on and on forever.
Cargo is symbiosis of a music video trilogy and a shortfilm. Basicly the story is a loop about misterious people, mobile phones and a bag, which becomes heavy cargo for one of the characters.
