(0.00 / 0 votes)A philosopher once asked,
"Are we human
because we gaze at the stars,
"or do we gaze at them
because we are human?"
Pointless, really-
Do the stars gaze back?
Now, that's a question-
But I'm getting ahead of myself-
at the Royal Academy of Science
in London, England,
where a letter arrived,
containing a very strange inquiry-
It had come from a country boy
and the scientist who read it thought it
might be a practical joke of some kind-
But he duly wrote a reply
politely explaining
that the query was nonsense-
And posted it to the boy
who lived in a village called Wall,
so named, the boy had said,
for the wall that ran alongside it-
A wall that, according to local folklore,
hid an extraordinary secret-
I'm charged with guarding the portal
to another world.
And you're asking me
to just Iet you through?
Yes.
Because, Iet's be honest, it's a field.
Look, do you see
another world out there?
No. You see a field.
Do you see anything nonhuman?
No. And you know why?
Because it's a field!
Hundreds of years,
this wall's been here.
Hundreds of years,
this gap's been under 24-hour guard.
-Well...
-One more word,
and I'II have you up
in front of the village council!
-Well, that sounds rather final.
-Yeah.
-Better just go home, then, I suppose.
-Right, then. Night, Dunstan.
Give my best to your father.
Stop!
Stop!
I don't deal with time-wasters.
Get over here and tend this stall.
I'm off to The SIaughtered Prince
for a pint.
See anything you Iike?
Definitely.
I mean, what I meant was these ones,
the blue ones.
How much are they?
They might be the color of your hair.
Or they might be all of your memories
before you were three.
I can check if you Iike.
Anyway, you shouldn't buy the bluebells.
Buy this one instead.
Snowdrop.
It'II bring you Iuck.
But what does that cost?
This one costs a kiss.
Is she gone?
Follow me.
I'm a princess,
tricked into being a witch's slave.
Will you Iiberate me?
It's an enchanted chain.
I'II only be free when she dies.
Sorry.
Well, if I can't Iiberate you,
what do you want of me?
So, the scientist was wrong-
The wall had successfully done its job
of hiding
the magical kingdom of Stormhold-
The young man returned that night
to his home in England,
hoping that his adventure
would soon be forgotten-
But nine months later,
he received an unexpected souvenir-
This was Ieft at the wall for you.
It says here his name is Tristan.
Tristan? Don't forget the flowers.
Yes. I've got them. Thank you, Father.
Eighteen years passed,
and the baby Tristan grew up
knowing nothing
of his unconventional heritage-
But never mind
This is the story of
how Tristan Thorn becomes a man,
a much greater challenge altogether-
For to achieve it,
he must win the heart
of his one true love-
-It's him!
-It's him!
Humphrey?
Humphrey?
-No, it's Tristan.
-Oh.
Did I Ieave something at the shop?
No. I just thought I could bring...
Tristan Thorn,
shop boy by day, peeping Tom by night.
Is there no end to your charms?
Humphrey,
there's no need to be Iike that.
Be nice to the poor boy.
Were those for Victoria?
You were always useless at fencing
in school, Tristan.
In fact, I'm having trouble remembering
if there was anything you were good at.
Humphrey, that's enough.
Are you all right?
Yeah. Yeah, fine.
-Want some breakfast?
-No, I'm really Iate for work.
-Are you all right?
-Yeah. Fine. Why?
Oh, I don't know.
Last night, how'd it go?
Oh, really good. Really, really good.
Hello, Tristan.
