The protagonist is a poor youth. One day, an official who embezzled government funds came to visit and decided to deposit his embezzled public funds there before serving his sentence. Because the official witnessed the scene of the young people, so the young people did not dare to report the public funds to the police. However, the young man lost his goal in life because he was lovelorn, so he wanted to squander all his public money and committed suicide. He began to live the life of conquering women with money that he had dreamed of, and he treated every woman like a slave. But this joy is futile. The era of filming is the "golden age" in which the Japanese economy is at its peak. People are bewildered by the development of economy and the affluence of life. Yesterday they were losers and poor, but today they become the rich in their dreams. The rapid change of life throws people out of their normal psychological track, and people inexplicably find their own joy. Oshima saw this reality and was keenly aware of the despair and helplessness contained in it, so he made this satirical and warning film. The biggest regret of this film, which disappointed many critics, is that it is too stylized and conceptualized, as well as Oshima's relevance and imitation of previous works such as the cruel Tale of Youth. No.
