Based on the children's book Pierrot ou les Secrets de la nuit by Michel Tournier, uses infectious music and ingenious puppetry to tell the touching and comical story of Perô, the baker, and his love, Colombina, the washerwoman. Perô works only at night watched over by his patron, Moon; Colombina works by day under the eye of her patron, Sun. When the colorful and charming painter, Paletino, comes to town, Colombina is whisked off her feet and runs off with Paletino, only to return to the steady and adoring Perô in the end.
