Summary:

This stunning film tells two interconnected stories, one of fictional characters in the present day and the other based on actual characters in the past. In the past there is the anarchist Sakae Osugi who was assassinated by the Japanese military in 1923. The story tells of his relationship with three women: Hori Yasuko, his wife; Noe Ito, his third lover, who was to die with him; and his jealous, second lover, Masaoka Itsuko, a militant feminist who attempts to kill him in a tea house in 1916.
