In the concrete- and gunpowder-scented streets of Tokyo amid the rubble, life is nothing more than a survival instinct. Amid the savage chaos of the postwar era, a group of women fighting for survival writes its own laws. This is the underworld, where there is no room for weakness and every step is a reckoning. This Japanese New Wave classic, bearing the signature of Seijun Suzuki, sharply brings to the screen the morality of the Shōwa era and the ruthlessness of the streets. When a wounded fugitive from outside stumbles into the midst of this fragile order, the precarious balance of the dark streets begins to unravel.
