""Humanity & Paper Balloons" was Yamanaka's final film and only one of three (out of 22) that survive today. The film, which starts and ends with suicide, is deeply pessimistic, insisting that life in feudal Japan was hellish and short for those at the foot of the social ladder. The story develops in the Tokugawa era of the 18th century, in a poor district of Tokyo, where impoverished samurai live from hand to mouth among equally poor people of lower social classes."
"Drama about a poor couple struggling to make a living in the late Tokugawa era."
