Synopsis by Brian Gusse
This variation on the Japanese "yakuza" (organized crime) genre focuses on a female yakuza leader in turn-of-the-century Japan. During a fight with a rival gang, she accidentally blinds a woman from another clan. The guilt she feels over this incident starts to affect her psychologically, leading her to question her commitment to the yakuza lifestyle.
