Synopsis
A modern realisation of Edward Lear’s haunting poem.
The Dong falls in love with a Jumbly girl when she arrives on the empty shore. But the Jumblies sail on and the Dong is driven beyond sense by a refusal to abandon a dream.
Shot before and during lockdown at Dungeness and narrated by Tilda Swinton the poem is newly minted and relevant with all its poignant beauty in tact.
