Two short stories set in Edo during the Shogun era. The first, during a time when Christians are persecuted vehemently, Iori falls in love with a young Christian girl. When she and her family are captured during a raid, his sadistic master takes her as his personal slave to torment Iori. The second follows Sutezo who, forced to serve the barbarous master of a brothel in order to repay his debts, befriends a young girl. Together, they both escape and struggle to get by on scams and petty theft.
A relentlessly grim and punishing experience. This film plunges viewers into a world of extreme cruelty and suffering, where hope is a distant memory. It's a harrowing descent into depravity that lingers long after the credits roll.
