Samurai Rebellion
“In the end, we had no choice but to have it this way. We just took a roundabout path.”

The mother of a feudal lord's only heir is kidnapped by the lord. Her husband and his samurai father must decide whether to accept the unjust decision, or risk death to rescue her.
VIBE
A stark, brutal tale of honor and duty clashing with personal desire. This film is a raw, unflinching look at the samurai code, filled with simmering tension and explosive, tragic consequences. It feels like a storm gathering, inevitable and devastating.
