Historical drama directed by Bernard Rose of Immortal Beloved and produced by Jeremy Thomas of The Last Emperor. Based on Dobashi Akihiro's novel 'Bakumatsu Marathon Samurai' about the Ansei Tooashi, known as Japan's first marathon.
Annaka feudal lord Itakura Katsuakira (Hasegawa Hiroki) holds a run across mountain roads to get his samurai warriors into shape. However, the Bakufu central government views it as a rebellion and dispatches assassins to the castle. Meanwhile, Annaka domain accountant Karasawa Jinnai (Satoh Takeru) senses that something is amiss with the Bakufu.
