Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The film showcases a fishing crew, a mother and her daughter on a small fishing boat being brutally shaken by a violent storm. The metaphor tells of the upheavals that a diagnosis of such an illness can cause in patients and their families: the loss of reference points, isolation, lack of understanding, and fear…

Tell the jury about type(s) of animation used and summarise any relevant challenges or techniques.

Although more versed in comedy than emotion thanks to their award-winning and Oscar-qualifying short film “Hors Piste” (2019), they are broadening their storytelling palette with this tender and heartwarming film. Produced in full CG , the artistic direction of the film is very much in line with what has already made them so successful: the use of cartoon designs to draw sympathy from the viewers, while playing with semi-realistic rendering and textures to generate emotion and strengthen the impact of each situation. This is like a magic potion for making films which are unique and different, yet mainstream.
