OF THE TAIRA CLAN is an epic tale of power struggles, family drama, and
human frailty. Special Forces commander Captain Tadamori returns to Kyoto after successfully defeating the uprising of pirates in the western sea of Japan. But because the high courtiers dislike career soldiers gaining power and influence, they ignore the will of ex-Emperor Toba and refuse to reward the captain.

Meanwhile, Kiyomori finds out that he is possibly the ex-Emperor's son...- Movie Soulmates' ratings
