Featuring a star-studded cast, We’re Broke, My Lord! is director Maeda’s latest comical adventure into the melodrama of Japanese feudalism. 

Naive and pure-hearted Koshiro has only ever wanted to become like his father, the maker of the best salted salmon in the Nibuyama Domain. 

The last thing he expected to thwart his dream was the discovery of his true identity as the illegitimate child of the Feudal Lord Ikkosai. 

Ikkosai’s sudden decision to retire from his political duties to the peace of his traditional teahouse is not only bizarre, but mildly suspicious…until Koshiro discovers he’s inherited not only an entire Domain, but a staggering debt with bloodcurdling consequences!

Murakami City, which served as the model for this film, is a former castle town located in the northernmost part of Niigata Prefecture and is known for its traditional shiobiki (salt-cured) salmon. Sample Murakami's specialty salmon products as you wander through the historical district dotted with old samurai residences and machiya (traditional townhosues) that still remain today.
