Le film raconte les dernières étapes de la vie de Rikyū, pendant la période Sengoku du Japon féodal. Il commence à la fin du règne d'Oda Nobunaga et continue dans l'ère Momoyama. Rikyū est montré comme un homme profondément passionné par l'esthétique et la perfection dans l'art du thé. Maître de thé d'Oda Nobunaga puis de Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Rikyū, de par sa position privilégiée, est constamment en lien avec les puissants seigneurs et a la possibilité d'influencer leur politique, même s'il évite soigneusement d'y être trop mêlé. Il consacre son énergie à étudier et enseigner la voie du thé. Les tumultes de l'histoire viendront cependant rompre cet équilibre, et ses rapports avec Hideyoshi iront en se dégradant.
