In the organizer's words:

Epochal masterpiece of Japanese cinema: the 180-minute epic film by Sang-il Lee. The most successful Japanese feature film (excluding anime) of all time. Now in theaters Intimes.

Nagasaki, 1964. 14-year-old Kikuo is taken under the wing of a famous Kabuki actor after the death of his father, the leader of a Yakuza gang. Together with the actor's only son, Shunsuke, he decides to dedicate himself to this traditional form of theater. Over the decades, the two men grow and develop together, from drama school to the biggest stages. However, only one of them can become the greatest master of Kabuki art with the honorary title of "Kokuho" (national treasure).

An epochal masterpiece spanning several decades. Captivating, visually stunning and sensual, the film tells the story of two exceptional artists who want to assert themselves in kabuki. With over 14 million moviegoers in Japan, the film is the most successful Japanese feature film (excluding anime) of all time.
