The tragedy unfolds when Ryuichi, despite marrying Jinhua in China, returns to Japan and reveals he already has a wife there. Left behind and crushed by the betrayal, Jinhua is forced into prostitution to support her family and pay off debts. Throughout her suffering—which includes contracting syphilis and enduring abuse—she maintains a profound, almost mystical reliance on her Christian faith.
The film is noted for its lush, literary quality and its exploration of "doomed romance" filtered through an Asian sensibility. Reviewers highlight its visual splendor and the themes of religious martyrdom, betrayal, and physical decay. It is often described as one of the most significant works of Tony Au's later career.
