After handing in a report on the treatment of Chinese colonial labor, Kaji is offered the post of labour chief at a large mining operation in Manchuria, which also grants him exemption from military service. He accepts and moves with his newlywed wife Michiko, but when he tries to put his ideas of more humane treatment into practice, he finds himself at odds with scheming officials, cruel foremen, and the military police.

A young idealist attempts to maintain his humanity while managing a brutal labor camp in colonial Manchuria. This grueling epic captures the slow erosion of a man's soul as he clashes with an uncompromising military machine.
