The story of a bureaucrat working for the City Council discovers he has stomach cancer. With not much time left he is determined to break free of the monotony of being a paper shuffling bureaucrat and make a difference for other people.

A masterpiece by Kurosawa which is still relevant today, a subversive film about the ineffective faceless bureucracy.
