The Samurai

In 17th Century Europe, the first Japanese delegation arrives in Rome on a diplomatic mission, where they experience baptism and the promise of connection with the West. However, upon their return to Japan, they face a drastic shift as the Shoguns reject these ties and Christianity, prompting the Samurai, who previously scorned their adoptive faith, to reevaluate its significance. Based on true historical events, this story explores faith, cultural conflict, and the complexities of belief.
