PlotIn an ancient kingdom riven by political intrigue and spiritual unrest, an aging king faces his greatest challenge when a mysterious child appears in a remote mountain village—rumored to possess miraculous powers and an uncanny wisdom beyond his years. The kingdom is slipping towards rebellion as rival factions vie for influence and the people cry out for justice. The king, burdened by the specter of his own mortality and mistakes, sends his most trusted advisor to investigate the child's origins, even as religious leaders brand the boy a threat to the established order. As word spreads, hope ignites among the oppressed, while fear galvanizes those in power to crush anything that might jeopardize their rule.
As tension mounts, the child’s presence triggers a series of events that threatens to upend the balance of power throughout the realm. The king is forced into a crisis of faith and leadership, testing his loyalty to both tradition and his people. Ordinary villagers are swept up in the uncertainty, each making choices that ripple far beyond their quiet lives. As revolution brews and the kingdom stands at a crossroads, destinies intertwine and old alliances fracture. While the king grapples with betrayal and the limits of his authority, a movement grows that could change everything—heralding either a new era of peace or annihilation for all.

Physical Media Reviews
Imaginative, well-voiced animation and a unique take; Blu-ray offers solid-but-imperfect video, lossy 5.1 audio, and minimal extras.
