A man (Masahiro Sugiyama), an idol otaku, picks up a monster fish and starts to raise it at home. At the same time, he moves in with a runaway girl (Yoko Oguchi), and the friction between them becomes more intense. The film was made at the end of the eighties, in response to the sense of stagnation in the provincial cities. It's a film with a darker side than my previous film "Love on the Street". It also has the strongest theatrical colour of all the films so far, but it shows the bankruptcy in a different way to "Street Corner of Love -".

Doze marinheiros japoneses náufragos ficam encalhados em uma ilha abandonada e esquecida chamada An-ta-han por sete anos tensos de conflitos internos. Josef von Sternberg dirigiu, fotografou, fez a narração e escreveu o roteiro (a partir de um romance baseado no evento real de Michiro Maruyana traduzido por Younghill Kang). Os únicos habitantes da ilha são o superintendente da plantação abandonada e uma jovem japonesa atraente. A disciplina é mantida pelo antigo administrador, mas termina quando ele sofre um acidente e perde de face. Logo, a disciplina e a racionalidade são substituídas por uma luta pelo poder e pela mulher. O poder é representado por um par de pistolas encontradas nos destroços de um avião americano, tão importante que cinco homens pagam por suas vidas em uma tentativa de conquista-las.
