Shinobi

You’re Gennosuke and Oboro, star-crossed rivals raised to kill one another. A death-match tournament suddenly pits your villages against each other. The camera lingers on your faces as the order is read. They film this like a fever dream of samurai romance where every step forward might be the last.
