I caught the last episode of season 14 of Call the Midwife last night. In it, Reggie drops and smashes the vase he made for Nancy and Roger's wedding. Fred Buckle tried gluing it but got in a sticky mess. Trixie's brother, Geoffery, took the shards to an artist friend of his who mended it using the japanese method of kintsugi, repairing the areas of breakage with a powdered precious metal. In this instance gold. When Reggie sees it he says it looks more beautiful than before!
Well, I admit I felt a bit deja vu as that was a plotting device I recently had previously used in a couple of my scripts.
Cendrillon drops a beloved family heirloom, a Limoges bowl, maybe painted by Renoir. Heartbroken, she takes it to the Limoges factory hoping they can" put it back together again "." Like Humpty Dumpty" jokes owner Pierre Cliquot. However, he takes pity on her and tells her not only can it be mended but it will be repaired the old Japanese way using powdered silver and will look even more beautiful than before!
