JIN

Minakata Jin, a surgeon from Tokyo, does not do any surgeon since he failed the one on his fiance two years ago, who is now comatose. Now there is a new patient at the hospital, in whose body Jin finds a tumor which looks like an embryo. This embryo has a strange influence on Jin, who gets a strong headache when thinking of it. Suddenly the patient who seemed to be unconscious, tries to flee together with the conserved embryo. When Jin finds him standing on the fire escape of the hospital, the patient throws the glass with the embryo away. Jin tries to catch the glass, but ends falling down the stairs. When he wakes up, his whole surrounding has changed. It is not the Tokyo he knew - but the Edo town from 1862. Believing that this is just a dream, Jin experiences a real Samurai fight, in which one of the Samurai gets dangerously hurt. Since he is a doctor, he tries to save the young man, but has his difficulties in explaining such modern medical things as operations to his family. Especially the mother of the Samurai believes that Jin will murder her son. Only the sister tries to help Jin though she does not understand a word of his medical explanations. In the end Jin manages to save the wounded Samurai even with the most primitive tools there are, only carrying his medical bag with some anesthetics in it. After this successful surgery and some recreative sleep, Jin realizes that this is not a dream. In order to find the way back to his time, he thinks of the only one solution - he has to find the patient who was carrying the embryo with him.
