Pearl Diver

A film that sweetly weaves together three storylines about odd couples. From a needy middle-aged hedgehog who wants to put his arms around a tender partner to a pair of oysters waiting for their lives to become synchronised. The minimalist palette somehow brings out the poignancy of their gestures. Two people are having a philosophical chat about life in a magical café, while pets and forest animals cavort among the doughnuts and fine china. Hidden beneath the tablecloth, dogs roll the dice and a squirrel runs down the table leg. A delicate and ephemeral view of life.
