Periwig Maker
''Periwig Maker'' is a 1999 short stop motion animation film. 15 minutes long, it is based on Daniel Defoe's novel ''A Journal of the Plague Year'' (1722). The film was produced by Ideal Standard film, directed by Steffen Schäffler and narrated by Kenneth Branagh.
==Plot==
The film is set in London in 1665, during the Great Plague. The protagonist is a wig maker who locks himself in his shop, isolating himself from society so that he will not contract the plague. He watches from within his shop as the plague ravages the city, taking the lives of the majority of the citizens. He writes down his observations in his journal, hypothesizing that the plague is transmitted through effluvia (breath, sweat and the smell of sores).
The camera pans through the dark, dilapidated city filled with death. The wig maker focuses on a newly orphaned girl with striking red hair who lives across the street. He watches her mother’s corpse get tossed to the body collectors and the girl succumb to the plague herself. The night before she dies, the girl’s spirit visits the periwig maker and informs him of her imminent death. After her death, he goes to the mass grave and retrieves her red hair to make a wig from it. In the final scene, the wig maker lies in bed, wearing the red wig, describing the reconstruction of London after the dissipation of the plague.
