Hitiro the Peasant

Yellow House's first feature film, a modern day corporate-samurai-adventure-love-and-revenge fable you cannot afford to miss. Featuring some of Central Virginia's best talent in front of and behind the camera.

Hitiro the Peasant — Plot

Hitiro the noble samurai serves the Emperor of Richmond, Virginia. After he refuses to enforce the Emperor's draconian tax policies, Hitiro is attacked by a jealous rival, who frames Hitiro for the murder of his wife. Hitiro escapes multiple ninja assassins, and seeks to begin a new life at a peaceful, rural village under the alias of "Hitiro the peasant." But can Hitiro outrun his past? Can he deny his burgeoning feelings for Ikama, daughter of the village headman? And can he save his new home from the wrath of the Emperor's soldiers?
