The June Bride is not your ordinary bar. And former Yakuza mobster Tatsuya Shindo is about the furthest thing from your ordinary pastor. After Shindo falls into a life of crime and repeated imprisonment he finds that religion is his ultimate ticket to redemption. So Shindo cuts off his pinkie finger to appease his former Yakuza boss and finalizes his transformation into Pastor Shindo. Set to a hypnotic score by Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto) June Bride begs the question can a former criminal effectively preach the word of God? And is leaving one of the most notorious crime syndicates in the world going to be that easy?
