Logline: After losing his “pearl”, a grieving jeweller is given a final chance to make peace with his mortal desires through a chance encounter with a young lady.
This simple story is adapted from a medieval poem of the same name, “Pearl”, the masterpiece of English dream vision poetry. Our Pearl animation differs from its source material, however, in its cultural context and form: where the poem concerns post-Black Death England, Pearl animation is situated in my homeland, Korea, during the Joseon period.
