In 1970, a 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 will try to put all the fragments of the mosaic in place and find out why this is the end of the life of this outstanding personality.
This is the film cast. [3]
