Tattooed Life

Tetsuo (Hideki Takahashi, Fighting Elegy), a low-level yakuza is double-crossed by his boss and attacked.

His younger brother Kenji (Kotobuki Hananomoto, This Transient Life), an aspiring artist with no connections to crime, comes to his aid and kills Tetsuo's assailant.

Fearing repercussions from the yakuza they flee to Manchuria where they risk coming under suspicion of rival gangs.
