Hara-Kiri

A young samurai staggers from a brutal battle into a fragile era of honor and restraint, where the code of his clan weighs heavy on every choice. He returns to a society demanding tradition even as modern pressures crack its foundations, and an elderly patriarch’s insistence on face-saving rituals clashes with a desperate, quiet longing for mercy. In a village suspended between ritual and revolt, quiet conversations and wary glances reveal the cost of loyalty when personal desire collides with public duty. A single act sparks a cascade of consequences, forcing characters to confront what it means to live, and die, with dignity.
