It Was a Faint Dream

In 13th century Kyoto, a life of confinement becomes a catalyst for rebellion when a peasant girl, sold to a powerful daimyo as a concubine, discovers her own desires and seeks freedom from the strictures of court life. Her bold move sparks a journey of self-discovery, leaving behind the stifling world of the Imperial court to forge a new path as a wandering nun. A poignant tale of empowerment and liberation, "It Was a Faint Dream" is a powerful exploration of one woman's quest for autonomy in a society where her very existence was deemed insignificant.
