Rashomon, the South Gate of Kyoto, Japan. A traveling monk, a woodcutter, and a beggar take shelter from the rain under the city gate and start chatting. The conversation begins, and the story unfolds: a samurai and his wife pass through a desolate mountain and encounter misfortune. The wife is assaulted, and the samurai is brutally killed. How did this tragedy come to be? The killer, the wife, and a witch who uses the samurai's spirit as witness all have different accounts. The truth can only be one, but everyone has different motives for providing their testimonies. To beautify their morals, lessen their sins, and cover up their faults, everyone starts narrating a version of the story that casts them in a favorable light. The tragedy on the desolate mountain becomes a tangled web of confusion and ambiguity. Once the discussions are over, the rain stops and the sun comes out. The woodcutter discovers an abandoned baby crying by Rashomon. He decides to adopt the child and walks into the sunset holding the infant.
