O Mimi san

Opis filmu

Opis oryginalny: angielski

The scenes of the story are laid in Japan during the last revolution in the late '60's. The Emperor is growing old and infirm. He has two sons, Yorotomo, the eldest, who will succeed to the throne, and his younger brother, Togowawa, who succeeds to the throne in the event of his elder brother's death. The Emperor, for reasons of state, betroths his eldest son to Sada San, daughter of the Prime Minister. The Chief Shogun, supposedly loyal to the emperor, covets the throne. He realizes the Japanese people would never permit him to ascend the throne himself, and he casts about for a dummy to occupy it. The Shogun calls upon the younger prince and unfolds his plan to kill the elder brother. Togowawa enters into the conspiracy and promises to aid the Shogun. The conspirators are overheard by a spy of the Emperor, who reports the plot. Yorotomo is sent away in disguise
