The Girl Who Cried Pearls

Directed by Chris Lavis, Maciek Szczerbowski

FilmDrops says

A poor boy’s love for a girl whose tears turn to pearls leads him into a perilous bargain between love, greed, and survival.
In Montreal, at the dawn of the 20th century, a poor boy falls in love with a girl whose sorrow turns into pearls. He sells them to a ruthless pawnbroker, who hungers for more. Tempted by greed, the boy must choose between love and fortune. The choice could damn his soul.From the Oscar-nominated team of Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski (Madame Tutli-Putli), this meticulously crafted film is a testament to the magic of stop-motion animation. With handmade puppets, mesmerizing narration by Colm Feore and a haunting score by Patrick Watson, The Girl Who Cried Pearls is a timeless parable of desire, deception and the price of innocence.

A poor boy’s love for a girl whose tears turn to pearls leads him into a perilous bargain between love, greed, and survival.
