<br/><br/> Tree-ear is an orphan boy in a twelfth-century Korean potters' village.  For a long time he is content to live with Crane-man under a bridge, barely surviving on scraps of food.  All of that changes when Tree-ear sees master potter Min making his beautiful pottery.  Tree-ear sneaks into 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.
