A melancholic portrait of desperation and lost honor in Edo-period poverty, where struggling men pursue dignity through increasingly futile means.

In a slum in Edo Japan, a ronin hopes that his deceased father's former master will hire him while a disgraced hairdresser attempts to regain his pride by kidnapping the daughter of a wealthy pawnbroker, who is set to be married.
