In a mission that seems realistic and exciting to two Catholic missionaries. Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver went to Japan for their real journey, which is a real test of their faith and religious power. They both travel to Japan to search for their missing teacher, Liam Neeson. This is the most dangerous task in history, a real test of Andrew and Adam because of the ban on the existence of Catholicism at that time and the existence of such people who call it.
