The Paddle Boat
Synopsis
Samppa Kukkonen, Director:
The Paddle Boat is a 15-minute animated adventure comedy about fatherhood and climate change. The film addresses the turmoil of big changes of varying scales: the impact that climate change has on life on Earth and the impact of fatherhood on a man’s lifestyle. Adapting and accepting responsibility aren’t easy in either case.
