Descargar Pearl (2022)

During World War I and the pandemic of the Spanish Flu, young woman Pearl lives with her loveless mother and crippled and mute father on her family's farm. Her husband Howard has enlisted and traveled to Europe to fight the war. Pearl dreams of becoming a dancer, leaving the farm, and traveling to dance in Europe. She goes to the town movie theater to see a dance movie and befriends the projectionist. Then she learns from her sister-in-law Mitsy that the church will promote an audition to look for a dancer to travel with a troupe through several towns. When her mother says that she will not leave the farm since she will fail as a dancer, this triggers Pearl's psychopath side and begins a crime spree.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
