Dandara

Synopsis

Somewhere in Japan... An actor specialized in B-grade samurai roles wakes up. While he believes he wrapped up his last shooting, he realizes he has trouble standing up. At this moment, a young woman appears and calls him "my lord Okita." Indeed, he does remember portraying this well-known Japanese warrior... However, something's off: nobody seems to understand what he is talking about and, above all, his katana looks real... Is he living a waking dream? Or is he a samurai from the past who's falling into madness? (Source: Éditions Akata, translated)
