In the Walnut

What do a gallery owner, Hideo Tanizaki, and a young, naive filmmaker, SoheiNakai, have in common?

Well, both of them are 24-years-old — that's a goodstart.

They both graduated from the same art school — that can't hurteither.

The fact that Tanizaki has a perchance for art forgery is just one"minor" difference between the two that Tanizaki hopes to rectify prettyquickly.

Under Tanizaki's influence, Nakai is inducted into the shady world ofcounterfeit art and black market dealings.

However, not all of Tanizaki's soulhas been corrupted by the promise of money and power.

With a kind soul, perhapseven these high-stake crimes can be put to good use.
