SYNOPSIS
PEARL is a brilliant teenager, traumatized by the sudden death of her adoring mother, who now must move in with Jack, the father she never knew existed. He’s a misanthrope who has lost his will to live: not what the teenager wants or needs at this moment of crisis. Though both resist this new kinship, they find salvation in the improbable but beautiful odyssey of coming to love one another.

PRAISE FOR PEARL
“Wonderful film. As the father of a twenty-three year old daughter, I totally relate. The daughter-father
relationship is so special, it deserved a film like this one..”
Dennys Arcand
Oscar Winning
Film Director
“PEARL quietly celebrates purpose
regained for a lost father and daughter. It will ring true for any soul who has learned that life, blighted
by terrible loss, may still flow on, seeking green pastures.”
Kathleen Murphey
