Haunted by the murder of his young daughter, a salaryman joins a surrogate yakuza family—complete with roller-skating, picnics and gangland rub-outs—but finds that certain emotions can never be buried. This yakuza piece either begins or ends Kurosawa's remarkable treatise on revenge and the human spirit. DOUBLE FEATURE WITH SERPENT'S PATH.
