A vibrant, visually stunning celebration of two outsiders finding kinship and transcendence through music and performance in medieval Japan.
A cursed dancer and a blind musician — both ostracized by society — become business partners and inseparable friends as their larger-than-life concerts propel them to stardom in 14th century Japan.
