A destitute former samurai arrives at a powerful clan’s estate asking permission to carry out a ritual suicide, but the officials suspect he’s only seeking charity. As he’s questioned, a layered account unfolds through stories of past visitors, challenging the gap between public honor and private cruelty in a rigid feudal system.
