A Samurai in Time
A sweet, heartfelt love letter to Japanese period dramas and finding one’s purpose - even across space and time.
A dark and stormy night in Edo-period Japan: samurai Kosaka Shinzaemon prepares to face off against his enemy when a lightning strike knocks him unconscious. Kosaka awakens to find he’s been transported to the present day film set of a samurai “jidaigeki” (period drama). Mistaken for an extra, his natural abilities get him work on more productions as a “kirareyaku,” a swordsman who specializes in being killed spectacularly on screen, while off-screen he navigates the strange world of the 21st century.
