Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Sensaku (Keiji Mutoh) is a rural rube from the island of Hokkaido who travels to Tokyo in search of his fiance Kuriko (Narumi Nasuda). His search brings him to a seedy part of town where flesh pedlars and other unsavory characters trade in human pleasure and misery. Sensaku discovers the woman he loves is involved with a corrupt and abusive club owner (Suma Kei). Yoshino (Michiru Akiyoshi) is a singer who makes her living as a teen idol but dreams of performing with the grand opera.
