About

A love triangle develops between a benevolent student, his innocent girlfriend, and a cruel petty criminal, all as a point of diagnosis of a social disease that had Japan slowly succumbing to lawlessness during the post-War era.
A fragile love triangle shatters against the backdrop of a post-war society spiraling into lawlessness. This stark drama captures a nation's moral decay through the collision of an innocent student and a predatory criminal.
