Plot
1970's Japan, and Aizawa, leader of a small left-wing political student group has been arrested. With him behind bars, the group is taken over by Masami, his girlfriend. But when Aizawa commits suicide in jail, Masami's tenuous grip on the group explodes in a blinding fury of paranoia and bloody violence.
