Herve Joncour Michael Pitt is a 19th-century French silkworm smuggler who must leave his beloved wife Keira Knightley at home while he makes a clandestine trip to Japan. While away, he meets a beautiful concubine Sei Ashina who implores Joncour to free her from a life of servitude. But, if he does, it may destroy the fragile negotiations hes developed with the ruling monarch Koji Yakusho — and not to mention his marriage.
