Synopsis: One of Uchida's last films and often hailed as his greatest, this three-hour allegorical crime drama stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the masterworks of the 60s. Rentaro Mikuni (from the popular Tsuri Baka Nisshi films) stars as Inukai, a destitute bear-like man who somewhat unwittingly assists in a crime of arson, robbery, and murder, committed amidst the mass destruction and death wrought by a massive typhoon that hits Hokkaido in 1947 (a real-life disaster).
