A poor boy becomes friends with a rich girl. He has a pigeon which he sells, but since it is a homing pigeon, he can actually sell it over and over again. The bird becomes the symbol of his friendship for the girl as well, but in the end she has her brother shoot and kill it. This directorial debut of Oshima Nagisa immediately estadlished the young filmmaker as the leader of the Japanese New Cinema in sixties. The unsentimental and harsh realistic style was vastly different from the melodramatic tardintional of Shochiku Company, the studio who financed the film, at the time. Oshima suggested that there's are no compromise between the rich and the poor and class distinction are closely linked to criminal tendencies.
