On the Pulse: Tales from the Magic Garden

This exquisite stop-motion gem offers a poignant look at the enduring strength of family and the transformative power of storytelling.

Following the loss of their grandmother, three siblings visit their grandfather’s home, where middle-child Susan takes up the mantle of the family’s new narrator. Through three enchanting tales of bravery and wonder, she helps her grieving family rediscover laughter and light. It is a visually stunning tribute to how the stories we share keep us close to those we love most.
