This is a convoluted whodunnit film worthy of Agatha Christie. A police chief has just discovered that he has been demoted with ten days left until he retires, and the consequent loss of his pension means he will not be able to afford the exorbitant divorce settelement insisted on by his wife; he plans to marry a young schoolgirl.
A woman now enters the police station; ten years ago there was a shipwreck on an island notorious for mysterious losses of ships and aircraft; her parents were drowned. A woman who now lives on the island has invited the seven survivors to a sort of reunion there; the new female police chief and her assistant go too. While they are on the island, people start to get killed one by one. The killings and disappearances are quite bizarre and perhaps typically Japanese; my favourites were the head of the policeman that is found, and passed from one to another like a rugby ball; and when several people discover that they have lost an item from their rooms; except one person; his room has disappeared as well, and him with it.
Interesting though all this is, there is no transgender element. The film is a feature film version of a series, and it may be that the transgender sequence is actually in one of the episodes of the series.
The title means "Unsolved Cases - the Film".
