The Paddle Boat

The Paddle Boat Short animation

Synopsis

A man loses his family to his own foolishness and drifts through humankind’s mistakes.

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.
