It’s night and almost everyone is asleep; and an adventure is about to begin for Oscar and… a goldfish who’s a bit of a daredevil. But it’s not a great time to be a little goldfish: because cats are on the prowl and water is drying up. So when there’s a sudden burst of water, the race is on! It’s a real game of cat and mouse – or, more like, cat and fish. As if by magic, a road of water is formed – and that’s not the only mysterious thing about this short film. But hey, we’re not going to give the game away!
The frantic pace of this adventure and the vibrant colours of the animation make this a story to revel in. The closeness to a fairytale and the way the imagination is used make for a work of fiction but, behind this, we grasp a pressing reality: we are facing a water crisis. This short film shows how precarious our access to water is, and we see the resulting hardship inflicted every day on Oscar’s parents and neighbours. Yet there is still a steady supply of joy thanks to the music and the encouraging words of the locals. Solidarity and kindness are the watchwords of this wild escapade. Get ready to be uplifted – because for every problem, there’s a solution!
