Kumakiri's 16mm debut feature shows the remnants of a left
wing activist group holed up in an abandoned country house
around 1970. Its leader has been arrested and imprisoned.
When word comes that he has killed himself in jail, his
girlfriend Masami (Mikami) goes berserk. Convinced that the group harbours a traitor, she goes on a killing spree, as psychosis spreads all around.
Based on a true incident, which gained wide recognition for its extremely harsh and graphic images.
