A new picture by the director of Naked Island and Onibaba, is the story of a man (played by Noh actor, Hideo Kanze) who is impotent due to being exposed to the atom-bomb explosion at Nagasaki. He lives alone with his house-keeper (Nobuko Otowa, star of Onibaba) and her selflessness and devotion restores his manhood.
