This is director Akira Kurosawa's first film after World War II. It is based on the controversial Ryukawa incident involving a Kyoto University professor during wartime, depicting the rise of militarism led by Culture Minister Kiyoshi Saito, who expelled the liberal-advocating professor Ryukawa, facing unanimous opposition from Kyoto Imperial University at the time. Additionally, it uses the backdrop of the Trotsky International Incident to portray the hardships faced by the female protagonist, Yukie, during the war, thus critiquing the war and the prevailing fascism of the time. In the latter part of the film, Yukie, who decides to seek independence, faces suffering after she experiences the bliss of first love with Noe. However, the good times are short-lived as Noe is imprisoned for life for secretly engaging in anti-war activism, and Yukie endures daily humiliation at the hands of secret police. The prosecutor assigned to this case is actually her former classmate, Ikegawa. After Yukie is released, she returns to Noe's beloved hometown, spending time with his parents. Following Japan's defeat, democracy flourishes, Professor Yagihara returns to teaching, and Yukie decides to engage in rural cultural movements. Yukie in the film is not the traditional Japanese woman of the past; rather, through the war and the ensuing chaos, she eventually finds herself and becomes a new era woman loyal to her own will.
