In mediaeval Japan a compassionate governor is sent into exile. His wife and children try to join him, but are separated, and the children grow up amid suffering and oppression.
A truly tragic story about the family of a governor. The governor is very compassionate to the people he rules and as such, is run out of office by the businessmen of the territory. This film takes place before "human beings became compassionate" towards their fellow man. What made it so tragic for me was the father of this family was such an admireable man and as such, his family is split apart and sold into slavery. Pretty depressing but powerful at the same time.
