During the Tenshou era, four Japanese youths Ito Mancio (Nomura Shuhei), Nakaura Juliao (Morinaga Yuki), Hara Martinho (Inowaki Kai) and Chijiwa Miguel (Ogata Atsushi) have an audience with Oda Nobunaga (Kikkawa Koji). After receiving the order to journey across the seas into the unknown, they set off from Nagasaki in the company of Dourado (Sano Gaku), a footman with a Japanese mother and Portuguese mother. They have an audience with the pope (Simon Andreu) at the Vatican, the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. However, what awaits them upon their return to Japan after their spectacular mission is the prohibition of Christianity by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Ogata Naoto). |
