Adolescent, Bunshiro Maki vit une jeunesse sans histoire dans son village, jusqu'au jour où son père, un samouraï, est mis en disgrâce pour avoir soutenu un rival du seigneur des lieux. Il est condamné à faire le seppuku, c'est-à-dire à se suicider en se tranchant l'abdomen. Mis au ban de la société, Bunshiro et sa mère doivent porter le fardeau et la honte de ce déshonneur. À cela s'ajoute l'interdiction pour le jeune homme d'approcher Fuku, la jeune fille dont il est amoureux. Bientôt, celle-ci quitte le village pour travailler comme servante. Quelques années plus tard, Bunshiro, qui a retrouvé un peu de considération sociale, recroise son amour de jeunesse, devenue la concubine du seigneur local.

The film does not have a single narrative, but is rather episodic in nature, following the adventures of a "surrogate Kurosawa" (often recognizable by his wearing Kurosawa's trademark hat) through eight different segments, or "dreams", each one titled.

The story of an orphan girl, brought up in naive, rustic innocence by an elderly relative, who is suddenly exposed to the brutality, greed and deceptiveness of the outside world when her grandmother dies. Notwithstanding her healthy distrust of all strangers, which her upbringing instilled in her, it is not long before a cunning racketeer finds her weak point, that temptation which she cannot resist, that weakness, different as it may be, that each of us has, and brings her into his power. What follows is a depiction of her cruel descent into the depths of moral decay, as she becomes a collaborator in a system of exploitation, unbridled lust, vanity, and greed, in which she and other victims are always the losers.
