A pompous samurai overlord arrives at the shrine of Benten, the goddess of good fortune, to ask for a suitable husband for his beautiful daughter, Lotus. The goddess sends a humble fisherman to meet the daughter. They fall in love but Yukio, the young man, feels he is unworthy. The father, outraged, changes the fisherman into a dragon. Using elegant reproductions of the classic Bunraku puppets of Japan, a romantic poignant drama unfolds that reaches into the world of myth and legend to portray a young man’s journey of self-discovery. His encounters with traditional folk puppets from North America, England and Indonesia give exotic glimpses of different puppetry styles.
