The Anchor and the Kite

Runtime: 2:45   Ratio: 16:9  Language: English

“Reflections” Block, 1:10PM Friday

The Anchor, heavy, weather-worn, and rusty, is bound to the ground by the weight of his cumbersome existence. The Kite is vibrant and brave but has little control over her path in life. A glimmer in the distance leads to a life-changing encounter between the two.
