The windmill and the sea, 12min., South Korea
Directed by Lysia Valentina Gani
In a coastal fishing village, fishermen often find plastic fragments inside their catch. A local child turns these into windmills, treating them as precious toys. One day, a visiting child disdainfully throws a windmill into the sea, shattering the local child’s effort. The child tries to rebuild it but fails, Later, an outsider photographer urges the villagers to change, but survival keeps them reliant on plastic. In the end, the plastic drifts back to the sea, and the child watches silently, trapped in an unending cycle.
