レッドタートル ある島の物語 • reddo taatoru aru shima no monogatari
by Michael Dudok de Wit
2016 • 80 min • Keine Dialoge • Central Film

The wheel of life: A man is stranded on a desert island, a thick bamboo-forest at its center, grey rocks and yellow sand around it and all of it surrounded by the expanse of the deep blue sea. The sky darkening from pale blue to dark blue, shadows becoming shorter during the day, only to become longer again.
With a self-made raft, the man tries to escape from the island, but his attempts are in vain. A mysterious force always smashes his raft. Only on the third attempt did he discover the cause: a giant red sea turtle. Majestic yet mysteriously, floating in the water – and as it follows him ashore, its secret is revealed.
