The film tells the story of Sakamoto Ryoma, a real historical character. He hated the shogunate, but wanted to defeat it without blood; a samurai and a great warrior, eager to adopt European achievements; a man interested only in ideas, not personal gain. A bourgeois revolution and civil war were brewing in Japan, threatening to flood the whole country with blood. Sakamoto Ryoma saw the possibility of solving the existing problems in uniting the forces of the opponents of the shogunate, primarily the southwestern principalities of Satsuma and Choshū. This was an almost impossible task, as there had long been enmity between these clans. In the possibility of such an alliance, no one believed, but Ryoma still managed to find a compromise, and in January 1866 to achieve the formation of a military alliance Satsuma-Chōshū. It was this alliance that played a decisive role in the overthrow of the shogunate. close
