Description:

In this captivating tale set in feudal Japan, the mother of a young lord's sole heir is abducted by her own husband's overbearing father and the powerful lord he serves. The shocking act plunges the distraught husband into an emotional dilemma: submit to this unjust decision, or confront the wrath of those in authority who hold his life and that of his family in their hands. Alongside his resolute samurai father, our protagonist must navigate a world of honor, loyalty, and sacrifice in an attempt to reunite their family and challenge the unyielding traditions of feudal society. The narrative is underscored by evocative cinematography that transports viewers into the heart of ancient Japan, while the complex relationships at play keep them captivated until the very end.
