Love knows no borders
Based on the Alessandro Baricco's novel this is the story of a married silkworm smuggler, Herve Joncour, in 19th Century France who travels to Japan to collect his clandestine cargo. While there he spots a beautiful European woman, the concubine of a local baron, with whom he becomes obsessed. Without speaking the same language, they communicate through letters until war intervenes. Their unrequited love persists however, and Herve's wife Helene begins to suspect.

Keira's Quotes

"Silk, I was obsessed by the book. I thought it should never be made into a film. Then they offered me a part in it, and I think if anyone is going to be involved in this bastardisation it's going to be me."
