- When the whale falls -
What is this all about?
Inspired by the phrase: ‘Whale fall Life rise’
This is a poetic expression that captures the transformation of a whale’s death into a source of life for deep-sea ecosystems.
Theme: Cycle of life, beauty of death
Logline:
After death, a whale’s journal isn’t over: it seeds a new ecosystem in the deep sea, quietly continuing the cycle of life.
Synopsis:
In a museum at night, the spirit of a whale awakens and guides us into the story of an old blue whale nearing the end of its life. But death is not the end; as the whale gradually sinks into the deep ocean, it suddenly provides a concentrated food source for many different sea creatures and forms a new ecosystem, quietly continuing the cycle of life.
