故事描写一名母亲独力把两名儿女抚养成人，大破不惜从事黑市买卖，大破甚至出卖肉体，但儿女们却毫无感激之心，母亲最后只好以自杀了却残生。木下惠介是一位善于抒情的导演，在他的作品中往往能看到优美的画面，听到怡人的配乐，然而本片却一反其一贯风格，呈现出别具一格的风貌。在本片中，木下导演用写实的笔触描绘出一段残酷的故事。剧中的主人公是一位包受战乱之苦的妇女，而她的两名子女却半点不体谅母亲的苦心，自私而无情地把母亲逼上了绝路。影片的画面好像新闻报导片一样冷静而不带修饰，反而营造出令人震慑的冲击效果。影片入选1953年电影旬报评出的年度十佳作品榜，出演春子的望月优子获得了每日电影评选的最佳女主演奖。

回复 :This is an interesting yet bizarre little tale of a fictional (as far as I know, anyway) experiment performed during the Stalin-controlled years in the USSR. The main character is changed from a woman into a man. This is part of a larger plan to change more women into men and have a stronger work-force/army, etc. It's a very in-depth character study of the main character, who tries to fit into a world that she (now 'he') doesn't really understand, especially since she's now a man ... Stalin dislikes the results of the experiments and has the scientist killed. The main character then goes off to live a life as a simple, unknown everyday Soviet, but is inexplicably drawn into larger and larger schemes (somewhat reminiscent of "Forrest Gump" in that way). (s)He has run-ins with different important characters, including his ex-boyfriend from his days of being a woman, as well as going on a demented quest for the nurse with whom he possibly fell in love after the operation... However, he is trapped in his life as an important Soviet married man, and in the end makes a huge sacrifice for his country (unwillingly), and the movie goes from there to an ending that is possibly happy, yet still somehow incredibly depressing.
