A Hunting Lesson

Synopsis: Antoine is fascinated with his neighbor, a mysterious old man who lives a solitary life in a big house. Although he now spends his days writing at his computer, it is said that he was once an adventurer who traveled the world in search of big game. He finally gets into the house and convinces the old man to teach him to hunt. But the lesson Antoine learns from him is not at all what he had expected.
