The quest of a war-widow for the truth about her husband's death
during World War II serves as the backbone for this film, which

portrays the Japanese militarism of that time and the attitudes which
gave rise to it. Though the government labelled her husband as a

deserter, his widow does not believe it, and every day she makes a
trip to the war reparations office until she finally tracks down four

men who knew her husband in his last days. They tell a harrowing
story of the breakdown of humanity at the close of the war.

Director Kinji Fukusaku is best known for his final film, Battle
Royale, and his earlier Yakuza films, such as the 5 part Yakuza
Papers. This one is as good as any he made during his lifetime.
Included is a second audio track of Commentary.
