His mom ekes out a meager living shining shoes, except when her poor health (it's not quite an Incurable Cough of Death, but it's implied she's tubercular) prevents her from even doing that. With the family about an inch away from starving, Masao has a side hustle, earning money for food by selling pet pigeons. It's something of a racket: the pigeons have a nest in the slums where Masao lives. Whenever someone carelessly lets a pigeon out, the pigeon flies home to its nest, and Masao sells it again.Masao attracts the attention of two do-gooder types. His teacher, Miss Akiyama, wants to help him, as does a rich girl named Kyoko who bought one of his pigeons. It so happens that Kyoko's family owns an electronics business, and she tries to get her family to give Masao a job. But when Kyoko and Miss Akiyama find out about Masao's pigeon racket, they don't take it well.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Nagisa Oshima's debut film as a director. | |

Chekhov's Gun: A random comment establishes that 1) Kyoko's sister has a rifle, and 2) he sometimes uses it to shoot pigeons. That sets up the ending in which Kyoko gets her brother to shoot the pigeon after she lets it go. | |

Bourgeois Bohemian: Elements of this with Kyoko. She talks a big game, about how it's not right that her family's company discriminates against city boys, or how it's not fair that they specifically passed on Masao because he lives in a fatherless home. But when she finds out about the pigeon scam, she turns on a dime, not only cutting him off but shooting the pigeon. | |
