Kamataki

i saw this movie during the osian's festival of Asian cinema in India. the film talks about the rare subject of cross-cultural relationships and environment resulting therewith. it shows that with a little patience, we can find the joy and love/care in a completely different setting than what we may have imagined for ourselves. the young lad comes to his uncle in japan and gets strongly repelled by his approach towards life. however, staying out of an obligation and a certain fascination, he learns a lot from his uncle, who in turn becomes fond of him. he is slowly drawn out of his sorrows and finds peace and love while developing a passion for his work. a story where this Canadian lad is shown to have adapted to the Japanese culture and found his happiness and life's purpose.
