An animated fantasy drama with no dialogue that tells the story of a man shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. His attempts to escape are foiled by what turns out to be a giant red hawksbill sea turtle; she turns into a red-haired woman, they reconcile, and they live together on the island \u2026 Suspended between reality and a dream, this poetic story is a meditation on beauty, nature and the stages of human life. An Oscar nominee and an award-winner from Cannes, the film was a co-production of legendary Studio Ghibli and a number of French production companies.<\/p>\n
Highly recommended. Screens in support of\u00a0the Abu Dhabi Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Project in collaboration with The National Aquarium and the Environment Agency.<\/p>\n
