Sea Sparkle

The sea is Lena's second home. The girl wins sailing competitions every year and her dad is second to none when it comes to fishing. Thrown in at the deep end, can she cope with the next big challenge?

Lena's father, a ship captain, knows the rough waves like the back of his hand, but this time, he has not returned from his expedition. The cause of his ship's disappearance has not been established. There may have been a breakdown in the weather, or perhaps someone in the crew made an error. However, Lena has another explanation: a giant creature lives in the sea and is responsible for the incident. Along with her friend Kaz, and Vincent, who works at the oceanarium, she follows the trail of the mysterious sea beast and tries to prove a point to everyone. This intimate story, appreciated by critics and festival audiences, teaches us how to accept loss and why it is important to speak up about your emotions.
