The Nightingale
In the Japanese emperor's court, the hypocrisy of status-hungry officials threatens Uguisu, the modest, young flute player who wins the emperor's heart. When Uguisu is superseded, as in the original fairy tale, by a bejeweled wanton, Lady Hinata, the emperor's cat (and familiar of a goddess) comes to her rescue.
