“I have forged my destiny through the power of my own will–the power to manipulate the lives of others, from my own safe shore.”
The Count of Monte Cristo, a fabulously wealthy aristocrat from the far reaches of the galaxy, has returned to Paris on a secret mission of revenge.

Based on the acclaimed anime, this science fiction version of Alexandre Dumas’ classic The Count of Monte Cristo is a surreal, beautiful tale of love, death, and the seductive power of evil.
