As a consequence, women have taken the reins of society, occupying leadership, labor, and government positions that were previously exclusive to men. The few males who survive are considered a precious commodity and are raised with special care, destined primarily for reproduction and maintaining the lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plot focuses on the shogun's inner chambers, an intimate and political space where the lives of the women who rule and the men who surround them intertwine.
