Kenji Nakagami, one of the most notable Japanese writers of the post-war, died in 1992.

"To The Alley" (alternative title) is a documentary about Kenji's life. Incorporating 16 mm images from the writer's personal archive and adding new footage, director Shinji Aoyama travels through the paths of the life and art of the Japanese writer.
