SYNOPSIS
An old mother losing her memory gets her back tattooed with a Māori motif. What seemed to have no meaning for her divided sons will reveal after her death a deeper quest for unity. After scattering her ashes into the sea, in exchange, the brothers will catch a vulnerable creature - once mythical, tangled up in plastic: an Octopus.
As a coming-of-age odyssey, the tale embraces Māori and Celtic references enriching the journey with different layers of symbolism and perceptions. The story deals with a topic that is close to people’s heart and concerns - namely memory loss and the impact on the families involved. Elements of suspended time and abstraction introduce a raw visual poetry to the parallel realities of the drama: the loss of our World Ocean.
