When a curious young girl explores the jewel

When a curious young girl explores the jewel cabinet of her grandfather and discovers his prize possession, he sits with her and tells her just why it is so valued. He was once a young, poverty-stricken, lad living in a ramshackle room next door to a young girl whom he often heard sobbing. Peeking through a crack in the wall, he notices that as she cries her tears turn to pearls. Acquiring two, he takes them to a venal pawnbroker who gives him the enormous sum of one dollar. Rather than waste that, he buys her some chocolates to cheer her up. Meantime, the pawnbroker takes his lustrous new acquisitions to a specialist jeweller who appreciates their perfection and tantalises the avaricious lender who now impresses upon the youngster that if he can get more then great wealth might follow. The boy is desperate, but not just for cash - he wants happiness - for himself and for his neighbour. How to achieve this? The stop-motion here is gorgeous, almost ceramic in effect, and is underpinned by a solid and engaging story this glides along stylishly for quarter of an hour. The characterisations are almost Dickensian in nature, especially those hoping to capitalise on this girl’s sadness, and with an effective accompaniment from Patrick Watson’s score this is a really fine and thoughtful story that leaves quite a few threads mischievously untied. Well worth a watch.

A beautiful surprise.

The art style is distinctive and works well for the story, which carries the tone of a fable.The narrative presents an interesting moral and raises several questions, while also being clearly situated within its historical period.The short film relies on narration to follow the events and uses the girl's pearl tears as a metaphor for different themes.

Spooky beauty

Beautiful, if slightly spooky, tale of love and greed from the makers of "Madame Tutli-Putli." Production design and music are top notch. I loved the narration, making the story a tad bit less enigmatic than some of their previous works.It's a multiple award-winning film, here in Canada it will soon be available for streaming on nfb.ca and the NFB app.
