The Story
Our story tells the journey of a Princess’s self discovery, finding her place in life through survival and her relationship with her faithful samurai guardian.
At the start of the film, we learn that due to war and power struggles, the Princess was taken to her uncle’s castle in the country for safe protection. While she doesn’t believe she needed any protection, a samurai was assigned to stay by her side. From their interactions, the audience learn of the Princess’s backstory as well as her strength and her heart.
The Second part of the film focuses on survival, training, and trust. After learning the King has been assassinated and the Princess’ clan is being eliminated by hunters, the Samurai led the Princess away from danger while almost losing his life. In a remote cave, they hide from the world and developed an unbreakable bond. Under the guidance of the Samurai, the Princess became a fierce warrior.
