Amidst the chaos of civil war in 16th-century Japan, two men pursue dreams of wealth and glory, abandoning their wives in search of personal ambition. One becomes enchanted by a mysterious noblewoman, while the other falls victim to the harsh consequences of war and pride. Their journeys reveal the sorrowful cost of illusion, desire, and neglect of those they love.
