A BOY AND HIS SAMURAI
 
A Boy and His Samurai
© 2010 J Storm
 
Can you domesticate a Samurai?
 

A mother and son are forced to look after a samurai who has found himself in the present day through strange circumstances. To earn his keep, the samurai becomes a housekeeper, and stays home to cook, clean and take care of the little boy. The samurai finds he enjoys cooking and discovers that he has a remarkable talent for making extraordinary cakes and puddings. This heart-warming film gives a tongue-in-cheek insight to the blurring of traditional and modern Japanese culture while touching on the ever-changing roles of men and women in modern times.
