Time and the Seashell

A young indigenous boy imagines his future with a seashell pressed to his ear; an indigenous man recalls his past while listening to the same shell. Both wonder about how time transforms them and their surroundings. This film invites the audience to reflect on the past, present, and future of a changing landscape and its vanishing biodiversity.
