Among the Black Waves

Inspired by the Scottish legend of selkies, according to which the souls of drowned people are transformed into seals capable of taking on a human appearance, this magnificent animated short tells the story of a young seal woman forced to live on land after a hunter steals her skin, preventing her from returning to her animal form. Dark, but of great beauty, the black and white graphic aesthetic reinforces the tension of the film, which explores with great poetry the desire for freedom, the attachment to one's origins and the irresistible call of the sea.
