This is a very gently humorous reteling of a famous Korean folktale. However, it is much more than that. It also serves as a postmodeernist deconstruction of said tale. The story is working on multiple levels - obviously, it is for children, but there's more going on than meets the eye. A well-woven tale of a father bonding with his daughter and together they learn about what is important and what isn't. Fun roles for both actors as they shift between father, a blind man, an emperor and pirates or between real-life daughter, fictional daughter and empress.
