Plot
editWhen a greedy land developer forces a popular cabaret to shut down, the owner's daughter goes on a trek to visit her father's old girlfriends to reminisce about the past. The story has been taken by critics as a metaphor for the demise of the Nikkatsu studio itself which would soon halt film production.[2]
