A child watches soldiers and sex workers move through the same streets near a military base, and somehow that ordinary collision becomes the entire movie. Aihara frames it all without judgment, the way a kid actually sees the world, which means you're not watching exploitation or pity, you're watching people live. The restraint is the point. Nothing explodes. Nothing needs to. A small human moment between a soldier and a sex worker carries more weight than most films manage with orchestral swells.

A child's eyes witness the world around a military base. Set near Naval Air Facility Atsugi in Kanagawa Prefecture, the film centers on encounters between troops and sex workers, all seen from a young person's point of view. Its title comes from the name of a venomous snake species. Aihara's works from this period often take a documentary-like look at the Japanese society of his own childhood, and this psychological movie is one of them.
