Harikiri is about an old Samurai, years after Japan started its path of modernization, which has left him without a master or income. He travels to a remaining feudal lord to finally die with honor by publicly committing suicide, except there are mysterious continual delays to the process. He insists on telling the Lord, once a rival to his own master, his tale as he waits to kill himself.

I was wondering how you were going to talk about the movie without spoiling anything and I'm very impressed.
