Why we chose it

A lost six-year-old rings home from a beach, and nobody will ever hear his voice again. Sorogoyen (“The Beasts”) built a short film around that call, and it’s included here in full. Ten years later Elena meets a sixteen-year-old with his features, and you can see why she so badly wants it to be him.

Synopsis

Elena now runs a beach restaurant in France, on the same stretch of coast where, ten years ago, six-year-old Ivan rang her because he was lost and couldn’t find his father. She never heard his voice again. Her life has finally grown quiet when a sixteen-year-old walks past her table, and she can’t stop looking at him.
