Synopsis:
Japan, several hundred years ago. Mugen is a young and arrogant, but highly skilled, warrior. He`s also a violent, selfish womaniser. Jin, on the other hand, is a vagrant ronin - mysterious but honourable and virtually unmatched when it comes to swordsmanship. When the paths of these two fiercely independent warriors cross it looks like only one will survive the experience. But fate deals the pair a different, more favourable hand when they are both arrested after a violent, and unfinished, swordfight. Sentenced to execution, Mugen and Jin are rescued by a ditzy young waitress named Fuu, who Mugen had earlier defended against a gang of hooligans intent on causing trouble at the tea house where Fuu was working. As payment for saving their lives, Fuu convinces the pair to assist her in her search for a mysterious samurai "who smells of sunflowers". So begins their journey together - a touching story of love, friendship and courage… well, not quite!
