「楢山節考」で文壇に衝撃を与えた深沢七郎の第2作。東北の貧しい山村で嫁が取れない次男・三男の中でも相手にされない男が、伝え聞く山の彼方の娘ばかりの村へ旅立つという土俗的艶笑譚。深刻に構えず描き出した市川崑監督の知られざる傑作！！
The isolated village of Tohoku is surrounded by high mountains, and has a tradition that only the eldest sons may marry and inherit. The filthy, unshaven younger sons, called yakkos, work the land and never have sex. To redress an ancestor's crime, the widow Oei has to take each yakko for a night. However she refuses to take Risuke, who has particularly vile breath. So Risuke's eldest brother Tasuke tells his wife Asa to take Risuke for a night, while an old blabbermouth suggests another alternative to Risuke.
