It's a decade after the conclusion of WWI in a French provincial town. A largely private and secretive man, Julien Davenne is surrounded by death in his life, whether it be the thoughts of his fallen comrades in the war while he came out without a scratch, or the virtuosity with which he writes about the dead in his job as a journalist at the Globe newspaper. But arguably the biggest effect of death in his life is the passing of his wife Julie Davenne shortly after they got married after the war. To preserve not so much her memory but her place in his life, he has created a shrine to Julie in a room in the house he shares with Mme. Rambaud, his housekeeper, and her young deaf charge, Georges. The place of not only Julie but others that have meant something to him in combination with the betrayal he has felt by the living, most specifically his childhood best friend, public figure Paul Massigny, has led to Julien having a greater affinity to the dead than to the living, those passed who have meant something to him who he believes he cannot replace not only in them as people but their specific place in his life. As such, he will never remarry. Out of circumstance, he embarks on creating a space for all those that have passed that have meant something to him, that space including a lit candle for each and every one never to be extinguished to represent they still being alive to him. He believes he has found a like-minded soul in reconnecting with Cecilia Mandel, the daughter of a long deceased acquaintance, she who he hopes will maintain this shrine with him. The singularity in his focus against anything outside this very narrow view may tear him and Cecilia apart despite what they mean to each other in life.—Huggo

This is the story of "The Forty-Seven Ronin." Based on historical events in 1701 -- 1702, the movie tells the tale of the Asano clan's downfall and the revenge of its former samurai on the perpetrator of the catastrophe. Lord Asano was goaded, or tricked, into drawing his sword inside the Shogun's palace -- a crime which carried the death penalty. The newly installed Shogun was furious at Asano and ordered all his clan's assets seized, meaning some 20,000 samurai and commoners were unemployed and landless at a stroke. Forty-seven of these ronin (masterless samurai) banded together to take revenge on Lord Kira, who had goaded Asano into drawing his sword. They bide their time for a year and a half. Disguising their intentions, they lead public lives of drunken dissipation, while planning in secret. They finally succeed in exacting their revenge against powerful odds, and then commit ritual suicide to atone for breaking the law. They are buried at the temple of Sengaku-ji in Tokyo. Their graves are still in existence and are considered a national shrine. An annual festival is held there to celebrate these events. (Goof: The movie subtitles state the events began in 1702, in fact they began April, 1701 and the revenge took place December 14, 1702.)
