When Korean peasant Joon-pyong Kim (Takeshi Kitano) emigrates to Japan, his ruthlessness earns him great success as a businessman, but his self-absorption and cruelty destroy everything -- and everyone -- in his path. But even as his business flourishes through the efforts of an exploited labor force, Kim's reckless violence threatens to cost him everything. Yoichi Sai directs this award-winning drama.
