Heroic Purgatory

Rikiya Shoda (Kaizo Kamoda) is an engineer at Japan's Atomic Agency, living quietly with his wife Nanako (Mariko Okada). One day Nanako comes home with a lost teenager named Ayu, and when a man claiming to be her father arrives, Ayu insists that Rikiya and Nanako are her parents. The disruption sends Rikiya back to his youth as a revolutionary, and Yoshishige Yoshida, second in a loose trilogy after Eros + Massacre, moves the film between those two lives.
