Hannibal Rising Plot and Cast
This film traces the origins of Hannibal Lecter, beginning with his hard-scrabble childhood in Lithuania, where he sees the repulsive lengths to which hungry soldiers will go to satiate themselves. Later, during his sojourn in France, he studies medicine while honing his appetite for the kill, and he learns sword skills from his Japanese girlfriend, who happened to have suffered a similar fate.
