Tree-ear is an orphan boy in a 12th-century Korean potters'
village. For a long time he is content living with Crane-man
under a bridge barely surviving on scraps of food. All that
changes when he sees master potter Min making his beautiful
pottery. Tree-ear sneaks back to Min's workplace and dreams of
creating his own pots someday. When he accidentally breaks a pot,
he must work for the master to pay for the damage. Though the
work is long and hard, Tree-ear is eager to learn. Then he is
sent to the King's Court to show the master's pottery. Little
does Tree-ear know that this difficult and dangerous journey will
change his life forever.
