Koichi Nakamura

An electrifying journey into the nether regions of the late-‘60s Tokyo underground. A loose adaptation of Oedipus Rex in which a gay son kills his mother and sleeps with his father.

Charged with insubordination for punching a superior, Sergeant Kosugi is shipped to China in the last desperate days of the Second World War. His commander, Captain Sakuma, is vicious and dictatorial. Sakuma places Kosugi in charge of training for combat what once was the military band. Kosugi must somehow prepare his inept soldiers for the rigors of combat.
