“One of the most heart-warming time-traveling films you'll ever see. Director Junichi Yasuda has crafted a genuine film of kindness, integrity, and purely delightful entertainment.” - Chris Sawin, Bounding into Comics 

At the end of the Edo period in Kyoto, during a stormy night a samurai prepares to fight against a ronin, when a flash of lighting hits and when he wakes up to find himself in a different time. He has been transported through time to the present day and the location where he was about to duel is now a film set for jidaigeki TV shows and movies. He soon finds himself playing the role of a “kirareyaku”, a swordsman whose job is to die spectacularly on film. Hilarious and heartfelt, one of the year’s most enjoyable Japanese firms.
