🎬 KALDAKI (2025) — When Ghosts of Honor Refuse to Rest

"When an oath remains unfulfilled, neither the living nor the dead can rest."


Beneath the full moon in a silent bamboo forest, where cherry blossoms fall like old drops of blood, KALDAKI tells the story of two warriors—once sworn brothers, now destined enemies. Kiyomasa (Ken Watanabe Jr.), clad in crimson armor, carries the weight of tradition. Akira (Takeru Saito), in cold indigo robes, has abandoned the path of honor in search of a darker truth.

They once swore loyalty beneath this very moon. But in Kaldaki—a mythical land where the line between the living and the dead is thinner than a sword’s edge—they must choose: uphold the vow they once made, or break everything to end the blood-soaked legacy they inherited.

The bamboo forest is more than a setting—it is a witness. Every ghost drifting among them is a soul lost to the blades they once wielded together. And on the night of reckoning, when the moon reaches its peak, their swords will clash not just for survival—but for judgment.

Visually poetic, hauntingly meditative, and steeped in tragic stillness, KALDAKI is not merely a samurai epic—it is a requiem for those who betrayed their own hearts. Audiences will leave the theater with one burning question:
What is honor, if it demands you slay the one you once called brother?
