Historia ambientada en el Pacífico, en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, acerca de los famosos kamikazes que impactaban con sus aviones cargados de explosivos contra el enemigo estadounidense. El film se centra en un cuerpo de estos hombres con su base en Chira, Kagomisha, y con tono desmitificador pero muy humano, se habla de que no eran voluntarios, sino más bien condenados a muerte por sus superiores. Lo cual no quita para que se subraye el heroísmo de los kamikazes, al mostrar el amor a su patria, hasta el extremo de dar su vida por ella; lo que contrasta con el cerrilismo de algunos jefes.

Taku Shinjo spins this rural drama about ancient taboos and encroaching modernity. Takamine (Gitan Otsuru) is a big-city workaholic sent to a small remote island to seal a business deal. His predecessor almost managed to convince the island's 17 inhabitants to sell their stake and make way for a resort hotel -- that is, before he died under dubious circumstances. Takamine finds the islanders polite and kind but unwilling to discuss business; instead, they tell him to become an islander. So the city-slicker stuffed shirt loses his tie and starts to help the women plant and the men fish. He soon makes his acquaintance with Takako (Mitsuko Baisho), the widowed daughter of the island's chief. She lives alone with her crazed son who is kept Jane Eyre-style chained to a stake. One moon-lit night, their mutual attraction boils over, resulting in a naked, passionate roll on the beach.
