Synopsis:
A theater troupe arrives in a remote village seeking creative spark, but encounters an unusual tradition – a festival held only once every few decades. The group’s aim is to utilize this rare opportunity to cleanse an ancestral sword, yet they are initially barred from participating in the ritualistic proceedings. A sudden breakdown leaves one member stranded, unexpectedly entwined with the villagers' enigmatic customs. He finds himself increasingly drawn into their solemn practices, forging a complex relationship with Fuzuchi, the head priest’s son. The narrative explores themes of cultural preservation, generational burdens, and the allure of the unfamiliar, set against a backdrop of quiet mystery and subtle unease. The series offers a contemplative experience, focusing on character dynamics within a uniquely structured community.
