Pearl, Our Butterfly

Jacob’s second year at school is coming to an end. In
class, they learn about the short life of butterflies.
Jacob wants to make a butterfly, whose wing markings
resemble the big eyes of his severely disabled sister
Pearl.
The big brother knows that he must soon say goodbye
to his sister, who is spending more and more time
in the hospital.
With his grandma, Jacob explores his most dif ficult
thoughts, when his parents are too tired to talk. Their
joint walks in nature are a consolation, even af ter
Pearl’s life has ended.
