Love Under the Crucifix
LOVE UNDER THE CRUCIFIX centers on the forbidden romance between Ogin (Ineko Arima), daughter of a famous tea master, and Ukon (Tatsuya Nakadai), a married samurai. The shogunate’s prohibition of Ukon’s Christian faith forces the lovers to fight against the prejudices of an oppressive society while persisting in their mutual devotion.
