A Scene at the Sea
A tender, gently comedic story about an unlikely dreamer and his supportive partner finding joy and purpose through surfing despite social obstacles.
A deaf garbage collector happens upon a broken and discarded surfboard. The discovery plants in him dreams of becoming a surf champion. Encouraged by his also deaf girlfriend, he persists against all odds.
