Being a Japanese exploitation movie set during WWII I would recommend most people approach this with caution: It does contain a fair amount of seedy sex, violence, and sexual violence. As well as surgery. However, if you are the kind of person who might like to see a young female nurse give manual relief to a man who has had both of his arms amputated by the doctor she is in love with, then I recommend you order this DVD immediately.

Dark and controversial Japanese war drama. Sakura Nishi (yako Wakao) is a young nurse posted to an army hospital during the Sino-Japanese war in 1939. Raped by her patients, she is punished by the high command for daring to make a complaint, and sent to a brutalised front-line unit. There she meets a morphine-addicted surgeon, and the damaged couple try to seek solace in each other as the world around them collapses into violence and despair.
