Part of his war trilogy, which includes 'Fires on the Plain' and 'Killing', Shinya Tsukamoto's latest examines the lives of Japanese citizens in the immediate post-World War II period. In a bar in a black market that is beginning to recover from the ruins after World War II, a woman makes a living by selling her body. Her family all lost their lives in the war. After a turn of events, she starts a strange life together with a war orphan and a young, demobilized soldier. However, it is short-lived, as the demobilized soldier's memories of the war destroy the lives of the three. The orphan then sets off on a journey with a vendor who offers him a job, but the purpose of the vendor's journey is the horrifying one of putting an end to the wounds he has received in the war.
