Samenvatting
Carl, een visser wordt dood teruggevonden, verstrikt in z'n eigen netten. Hij heeft een zware hoofdwond. Werd hij vermoord? Kazuo, een andere visser, wordt verdacht van de misdaad. Tijdens het onderzoek en de rechtszaak flakkeren de na-oorlogse anti-Japanse gevoelens op. Ishmael, een lokale journalist, krijgt het zeer moeilijk wanneer hij er achter komt dat zijn ex-vriendin, Hatsue bij de moord betrokken is.Credits
