Donten: Laughing Under the Clouds - Gaiden: Chapter 1 - One Year After the Battle

You're a reclusive war veteran haunted by government experiments and a body that won’t obey, living off the grid one year after a serpent god fell. Your younger brothers arrive with questions, not pity, peeling back layers of a silence you thought protected them. The film ends with the weight of what blood carries, not just in veins but in secrets.
