## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

With a pirate sword and a samurai’s swagger this oddball quest is basically a samurai flick that forgot to take off its pirate hat. A scrappy deckhand sails toward a crumbling castle to outwit a premier who’s basically a human spreadsheet of greed. Unfortunately the film’s only real specialty is confusing everyone involved.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, playful
