The Fool is a movie about a simple plumber. An honest man, he is up against an entire system of corrupted bureaucrats. At stake are the lives of 800 inhabitants of an old dorm that is at risk of collapsing within the span of the night.

《青春的磋跌》讲述法律系学生江藤贤一郎的故事。此人才华出众，前程似锦，但他一方面耽于女色，和自己辅导过的女学生美登子维持着肉体关系，另一方面为了爬到社会上层，又卑躬屈膝地去讨他并不喜爱的康子的欢心。作品塑造了一个‘为达目的，不择手段”、最后落得身败名裂的青年学生形象。
