Inspired by Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet, this Japanese anime follows a medieval princess called Scarlet on a quest to avenge her father's death, after he is killed in a public execution by her treacherous uncle Claudius who seizes the throne and marries the Queen. Consumed by anger, the princess trains to become an assassin, but her plans backfire as she tries to exact revenge and she is gravely injured. She then wakes up in a surreal realm between life and death. Here, she encounters martyrs, bandits, soldiers and other folk from different eras of history, including Hijiri, an idealistic young paramedic from the present day. In this purgatory the cycle of hatred seems endless, but Hijiri seeks to show Scarlet that there is a possibility of a future free of bitterness and rage.
The "Scottish Play" becomes a Japanese film as Shakespeare's drama of murderous ambition, Macbeth, is adapted by master director Akira Kurosawa.
