A true story of diplomacy, courage, and forgotten legacy.
In 1613, a samurai named Hasekura Tsunenaga set sail across the Pacific—on a Spanish-built galleon from Japan—on a mission unlike any other. His journey would span oceans and empires, bringing him face-to-face with kings, popes, and the heart of Catholic Europe.
From feudal Japan to the Vatican, this is the cinematic retelling of one of the most extraordinary diplomatic journeys in world history. A forgotten ambassador. A bridge between two civilizations. A legacy of honor.
