Premise

In 1970 the well-known Japanese public figure and famous writer Yukio Mishima, while visiting a military base, suddenly began calling for soldiers to revolt. When his proposal was rejected, he committed suicide in the way that the ancient samurai resorted to if they believed that they were indelibly ashamed. The film uses fragmented scenes to explore that moment.
