Aroview: Samurai drama set in the 19th century near the end of the Japanese civil war, following several disgraced and listless ronin who attempt to regain their honour by defending a brothel from a hostile militia.

Brings some tongue-in-cheek humour and a modern sensibility to the sub genre, but otherwise lovingly recreates the feel of samurai films of old. Features a late career performance from ZATOICHI and HANZO THE RAZOR star Shintaro Katsu.
