Synopsis:
Yukié Yagihara (Setsuko Hara), the privileged daughter of a liberal (in the traditional 'libertarian' sense) professor (Denjiro Okochi) has two student-suitors, the conformist Itokawa (Akitake Kono) and the activist Ruykichi Nogé (Susumu Fujita). Student and faculty protests against military rule are ruthlessly suppressed (off-screen), with the result that Professor Yagihara loses his job and Nogé is sent to jail. Itokawa plays it safe and becomes a prosecutor for the government's oppressive policies. These are expressed only in a scene in which Itokawa tells the politically censured professor that he must stop giving legal aid, even as an unpaid volunteer.
Finally released from prison, Nogé goes to China to become an 'expert on the region,' although we're not told what kind of expert...
