[Machine Translation] In your dreams you slay men, lick the flesh of flies, and laugh as you rape the women you kill! Whenever the Genkai Sea roars, an enchanting shadowy figure stands in your way. Unknown guests, follow this man! And go and complete your training in evil! An evil hero with a ghost on his back rampages through the narrow and spacious Japanese archipelago! Juro Karo's first film as a director, this tragic tale is enchanted with the colors of romance. Juro Karo, who had been fascinated by the sea and pirates since he was a child, intended to combine the nightmare with the image of the Genkai Sea and to establish realism on the screen. In 1949, the Eirin (Motion Picture Association of Japan) decided to establish a new classification of "general films with restrictions (R)," and this film was designated as the first of such classifications. Kondo (Noboru Ando), who sold his youth to a peninsula across the sea 25 years ago, his apprentice Taguchi (Jimpachi Nezu), and Lee Koh-soon (Lee Ri-sen), who abandoned his homeland and became a stowaway, are the warp and woof of three people whose fundamental human desires are intertwined. The charm of the Tang Dynasty lies in the gentleness that peeks out even amidst the chaos. --Kondo and Taguchi are involved in the business of selling smuggled Korean women to Tokyo. Kondo has a dark past: 25 years ago in Korea, he raped a woman whom his friend Sawaki had strangled to death. After that, Kondo could not hold a woman because he could not forget the beauty of her dead face. One day, Kondo runs into Lee Ko-jun, a stowaway whom Taguchi rescued, and is surprised to find that she looks exactly like the woman he had raped before...
