In the heart of ancient Japan, the young samurai warrior Shinhachi returns home after three years of service in the capital. While looking for his fiancée, Chigusa, he is shocked to discover that she has now been chosen as the prince's concubine. His inner struggle between duty and love is further exacerbated when he is accused of treason.

A costume drama (jidai ki) produced by Teinosuke Kinugasa, about a samurai who cannot marry his lover and the betrayals and conspiracies this causes within his clan. A film full of poetry and beauty, with fantastic camera work and design, beautiful tinting and meticulously choreographed fight scenes. An absolute gem!
