About
In 1935 Okayama, Catholic schoolboy Kiroku Nanbu, infatuated with his landlady's daughter, turns to violence and is taught to fight by a schoolmate.
In 1935 Bizen, Okayama, Kiroku Nanbu (Hideki Takahashi) is a Catholic teenager attending a military-tooled middle school. He lives in a boardinghouse and is infatuated with Michiko (Junko Asano), his landlady's chaste daughter. Unable to express his feelings or his sexual desire, he turns to violent behaviour. Schoolmate Turtle (Yūsuke Kawazu) takes him under his wing and teaches him how to fight through an elaborate training regimen. Nanbu joins a gang and fights at every opportunity, while Michiko disapproves of what he does and tries to make clear that he should develop his more sympathetic side.
