Ugetsu

In the midst of war and political upheaval, a humble potter named Genjuro is torn between his desire for financial success and his love for his family. As he becomes increasingly consumed by his own ambition, he neglects his wife and son, leading to tragic consequences. Meanwhile, his friend Tobei becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of power and greed, ultimately losing everything he holds dear. Against the backdrop of Japan's Sengoku period, "Ugetsu" is a haunting tale of love, loss, and redemption that explores the destructive nature of human desire and the importance of cherishing those we hold closest.
