Overview

Francois Girard's adaptation of Alessandro Baricco's novel Silk stars Michael Pitt as a young Frenchman who travels to Japan at the request of a wealthy silkworm magnate who asks him to smuggle back some new worms.

After a few years, they are unable to conceive a child, a situation that leads to the man taking on a lover during his subsequent visits to Japan.
