Hatada Osamu and his wife were killed with a carving knife. Stage actor Shibata Masaki confesses to be the murderer but is later proved to a victim of schizophrenia, hence bearing no responsibility for the crime. Psychiatrist Ogawa Kafka is suspicious of the medical report and determines to reveal the ultimate truth behind the crime? Keiho features Blue Ribbon Awards and the Japanese Academy Awards Best Actress Suzuki Kyoka as Kafka, and Tsutsumi Shinichi (of Unlucky Monkey and Postman Blues fame). Both give a flawless portrayal as the stoic psychiatrist and the ruthless suspect. Director Morita Yoshimitsu (The Family Game and Lost Paradise) meticulously interweaves gripping drama and suspense to an intense level, marking this a masterpiece of both his own works and of contemporary Japanese cinema.
