Fantasy, Animation, Romance | 01 September 2008

A tragic story is played out by porcelain figurines residing in a bric-a-brac shop. Barnaby Barford's animation explores notions of forbidden love, material wealth and class divisions using traditions of value within ceramics, while also turning the classic ‘rags to riches’ plot on its head with an unexpected twist. Commissioned by Animate Projects, funded by Arts Council England and Channel 4.
