Synopsis:
With 'The Eel', the late Shohei Imamura became the only Japanese filmmaker to have twice won the Cannes Film Festival's coveted Palme d'Or. After an eight-year prison sentence for murder, Tajuro chooses to start a new life as a barber in a small town, which offers perfect isolation from his fears. As a favour to the town priest he agrees to help a young woman with a troubled past by offering her job as his assistant. However, when he least expects it, her past will collide with his.
