In a captivating dance, Mother Earth and her elemental daughter Pearl, deliberate the fate of humanity, whether to offer it a second chance or perish in eternal oblivion.

In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by Mother Earth's destructive forces, Pearl, her sole surviving daughter, emerges from the ashes of former life. Earth has suffered at the hands of Fire, Water, and Wind, while Pearl, their sister, and the soul of Mother Earth's spirit, remains. With a heavy heart, Pearl endeavors to restore the once-beautiful planet, unaware of her mother's intent to deny Earth's lost souls a second chance. All that remains of life is one single seed. Mother Earth reveals that hatred poisoned the planet, eroding respect and appreciation among its people, who turned a blind eye to the damage they caused. However, Pearl realizes her mother, too, has turned a blind eye and closed her heart to humanity. Defying her mother's wishes, Pearl rises above her and consumes the last seed from Earth. In sacrificing her own body, she nurtures a tree of life, offering humanity a new beginning.—Linda Dahlem
