Synopsis:
This is the first of four planned films whose central theme is the battle between the Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess over a mysterious blue diamond that has the power to turn mortals to immortals and vice versa. Each film was planned to be of a different genre: Duelle a film noir, Noroît a pirate adventure and the last two (never filmed) a love story and a musical.
