Based on the book by Katherine Paterson
An artful storyteller and two skilled painters have combined their talents in this popular Japanese folktale about greed and cruelty, kindness and love. A selfish lord who covets the magnificent plumage of the drake, separates a pair of mandarin ducks, keeping his new pet in a bamboo cage. A compassionate couple risk their lives to reunite the ducks, and are rewarded in the end. But by whom?
