Filmmakers Dani Resines and Roger Gómez cast a magical net with the story of Franciscu and his amazing trained carp, Juanita. Set along the stunning coast of Catalonia, we follow a lone, aging seaman, Isidre, on his journey to fulfill the final wishes of Franciscu, his fellow sailor, who was forced by ill health to abandon the sea he so dearly loved. Along the way, we discover Franciscu’s museum of maritime treasures, collected over the decades—a paean to his reverence for Neptune’s kingdom. His yearning for a life that could never fully be his is beautifully evoked as Isidre carefully carries out his comrade’s last request. This short film is an exquisite reflection on remembrance, loss, impermanence, and a faithful friendship that transcends species. Its final moments are truly glorious.  DRP
