Silk

Love knows no borders

There are many things that attract a man...

A young Frenchman, recently married, travels to Japan to buy silkworms to restart the industry in France. There, he falls for the concubine of a local noble. After returning to France, he can't stop thinking about the Japanese woman, and jumps at further opportunities to travel back to Japan, in the hope of furthering his relationship with her. The film tries to explore the consequences of loving two different women, but had generally bad reviews.
