Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of ancient southern Asia, this series follows an unlikely pair undertaking a pilgrimage. A boisterous kabuki performer, known for his penchant for causing disruption, finds himself unexpectedly traveling with a serene, yet cursed, monk. The monk's transformation into a monkey is a consequence of a past transgression, and their journey west becomes a path of both personal redemption and spiritual exploration. The narrative emphasizes the contrast between the performer’s impulsive nature and the monk's quiet resolve as they navigate unfamiliar landscapes and encounter diverse communities. Expect a thoughtful exploration of duty, forgiveness, and the search for inner peace interwoven with moments of vibrant cultural immersion and understated humor.
