Survival

In the vastness of the sea, under the golden light of sunset, a small boat carries souls escaping from a harsh reality toward an uncertain future. But the journey quickly turns into a nightmare as the waves grow monstrous and engulf everything in their path. Amid the chaos and fear, the story unfolds through the eyes of a young child who watches the world around him collapse while clinging to a fragment of hope. Survival is a short film that blends visual poetry with emotional depth, a silent yet powerful reflection on displacement, separation, and the desperate quest for safety. It is a story of survival, though not always the kind we expect.
