Synopsis
Nagasaki, 1964 – After the death of his father, the leader of a yakuza gang, 14-year-old Kikuo is taken under the wing of a famous Kabuki actor. Alongside Shunsuke, the actor’s only son, he decides to dedicate himself to this traditional form of theatre. For decades, the two young men grow and evolve together—from acting school to the grandest stages—amid scandals and glory, brotherhood and betrayals... One of them will become the greatest Japanese master of the art of Kabuki.
القصّة مقتبسة من رواية للكاتب "شويتشي يوشيدا"، وتبدأ أحداثها في مدينة ناغازاكي عام 1964، وتتوالى على مدى خمسة عقود، متتبّعةً العلاقة الّتي نشأت بين "كيكوو" - الّذي تبنّاه معلّم كابوكي بعد وفاة والده - وابن المعلّم "شونْسُوكي". إنّ علاقتهما، الّتي هي في جزء منها أخوّة، وفي جزء آخر منافسة، تغذّي ملحمة شاسعة عن الطّموح، والتّضحية، والإخلاص ضمن سلالة مسرحيّة مُبجَّلة.
