CinemaSerf

A solitary fisherman leaves his ramshackle hut each day and heads out onto the open water to see what he can catch. It’s a routine existence that rarely changes from day-to-day until he encounters something altogether more ethereal. All he knows is that it is shapeless, exponentially growing and it seems to like tinned sardines. What’s this all about? Well your guess is as good as mine. The relentlessness of life, the benefits of solitude, the loneliness of solitude, the excitement and potential of each new day? The animation is rather bleakly etched and can seem a bit doom-laden, but there is a lighthouse circling it’s beam away in the distance. Is it lighting the way or issuing a warning? Does any of this matter?
