اونی‌بابا

In mid-fourteenth-century Japan, during a civil war, an older woman and her daughter-in-law survive in the reed fields near Kyoto by killing stray soldiers and selling their armor to a merchant. When Hachi, a neighbor back from the war, begins an affair with the younger woman, the older woman puts on a demon mask to frighten her away from him, and the mask will not come off. Shindo himself said the mask's effect symbolizes the disfigurement of atomic-bombing victims.
