- Towards the end of WWII, a black American pilot is captured and imprisoned by rural Japanese villagers, who await official instructions as to how to proceed with their "catch."
- A leading postwar Japanese film critic and theorist who co-founded the seminal film magazine Eiga Hihyo (Film Criticism) in 1957, Eizo Yamagiwa made his directorial debut with this independent feature-long thought lost until a negative was recently discovered-about a group of idle bourgeois students known as the "Roppongi Tribe" (Roppongi zoku). Depicting the resignation and nihilism of the postwar generation in the years following Anpo Treaty conflicts through a coming-of-age narrative, Yamagiwa offers sharp criticism of the prevalent characterizations of Japan's new youth offered by Nikkatsu's taiyozoku ("Sun Tribe") films and the New Wave at large.
