『裏窓』 is a play on the name of the person who shoots himself with a bistol every morning. The two men take it in turns to face themselves with the bullet loaded and damaged, and present the consciousness of a young man who is not alive until he fires a shot into the magazine of his revolver. The young man's consciousness is presented to him. A friend comes along or pulls the trigger. The film is a drama, as are 『裏窓』 and『冬の光』. The woman is found. The film is quite interesting, but you have to pull the trigger to find out if you will die from a gunshot. But that is not to say that the film is not interesting.
