Kenji is a small-time thief who likes drinking and fighting. When he falls in love with sweet and simple Yazue, and she finds out what kind of guy he really is, she leaves him "until he becomes an honest person." Kenji soon finds it's not easy to get rid of one's past.

VIBE

A somber, romantic drama about a thief's struggle for redemption. Its gritty realism and melancholic tone create a compelling, albeit bleak, portrayal of love and the difficulty of escaping one's past.
