The film tells the story of a samurai who falls on hard times due to misunderstandings and explains the plots of his enemies. Such explanations superbly depict the absurdity of the samurai's unjust world, making this work pertinent even in present day.

A young boy in post-World War II, Communist-dominated Poland, whose father's decision to remain in Britain after the war has made his family politically-suspect with the local Party authorities, is sent by his mother to stay with an "aunt" (in reality an old family friend) in the capital, Warsaw. Ida is a strong-willed, single, middle-aged woman who has found her own ways of surviving in the Communist-run society (which sometimes involves her charming powerful older men, as well as maintaining two different sets of identity papers). She gets Hubert admitted to one of the city's best schools by portraying him as the orphan of a war hero. But she also shares with him her own passion for horses, at a time when riding is seen by many officials as a relic of the old aristocratic class. Hubert himself, meanwhile, struggles to understand how it can be right for a good Catholic to lie in order to survive under Communism.

XVI siècle. Genichiro et sa sœur Shinobu désirent venger leur père tué par le clan des Samoto. Ils s'adressent au célèbre sabreur Musashi Miyamoto. Engagé auprès d'un autre clan, celui-ci ne peut, d'emblée, satisfaire leur requête. Il leur explique, aussi, que les arts martiaux ne sont pas destinés à satisfaire un désir de vengeance ou de simples besoins matériels. Ils font partie intégrante d'un apprentissage spirituel conduisant sur la voie de la sagesse. Il accepte, pourtant, de leur enseigner son savoir et de les entraîner en conséquence. Quelque temps plus tard, Genichiro meurt au combat face à un autre grand duelliste, Kojirō Sasaki. Ce dernier défie, en même temps, Miyamoto qui, touché dans son honneur, n'a plus qu'une pensée : affronter son adversaire afin d'établir sa suprématie.
