Dir. Hossein Molayemi, Shirin Sohani / 2023 / 19 mins / Iran / No Dialogue / Drama, Animation / Australian Premiere

When a beached whale runs ashore, a father and daughter disagree about its fate.

An old man with PTSD lives with his daughter in a seaside house of broken glass by the ruins of an old ship. When a whale beaches itself on the nearby shore, she wants to save it – he doesn’t. This sweeping, dialogue-free parable won Best Animated Short at Tribeca.
