A story about a young whale in search of his own voice. Having wandered off from home in order to explore a shipwreck, he finds a sole survivor – a caged songbird. Lost at sea, the two of them join forces in order to survive. The old-fashioned oil-on-glass technique employed in the making of this film deserves credit for the peculiar atmosphere of the film’s chilling, fairy-tale-like waterworld.
