English title: The Sea Is Watching.
Correct translation of the Japanese title: The Sea Was Watching.
Life in a brothel in old Japan. One of the prostitutes falls in love repeatedly. Another has an affair with a man who exploits her; she is courted by an older man.
Touching chamber drama about the difficult sentimental lives of prostitutes. The screenplay quite seamlessly joins and adapts two stories by Shugoro Yamamoto, who also provided source material for Red Beard, Dodesukaden, and Sanjuro.
