Kamataki

Ken Antoine, 23, has lost his father and his desire to live. One winter morning, he jumps off a bridge into the icy waters of the St. Lawrence River. Miraculously, he survives.His mother feels that his father's brother in Japan is the only person who can help find what he has lost. Uncle Takuma is an internationally famous potter. Eccentric and unpredictable, he lives by his own unconventional moral code. He is the opposite of Ken's late father. Takuma's shock treatment of sake, mystery, sexual tension and art succeeds in stirring his nephew's curiosity. Will those sparks be enough to rekindle Ken's inner flame and allow it to burn as hotly as the fire of Takuma's wood-fired kiln?
