Lost
Short Thriller
France
On a sunny day, parents will experience the darkest day of their lives. In this drama, two worlds come together: that of joy, relaxation, beach games of vacationers, and the tragedy of parents linked to the disappearance of their child on the other. Trouville-Sur-Mer seemed to us the ideal setting. Nicknamed “the Queen of Beaches” for its huge sandbar, it is a dangerous beach. Drownings are frequent there, although this seaside resort seems at first glance hospitable and festive with its many fun attractions for children. It was essential that it be a scorching day with the presence of many vacationers. This buzzing hive feeling helped heighten the dramatic tension and accentuate the loneliness of father and mother.

From 5 years ago, at the bottom of the Gulf of Cefalù, Sicily, there were a ton of abandoned fishing nets that continued to fish, killing marine animals and suffocating the area. The brothers Andrea and Marco Spinelli, thanks to a collection of money, have carried out the Eurydice Mission, to extract and eliminate the nets. The making of this documentary could be the beginning of an international campaign aimed at recovering the abandoned nets in our oceans. With the creation and dissemination of a documentary (result of our project) we hope to prevent the abandonment of nets in the seas and increase awareness of this serious "global" problem. What the film wants to convey is a testimony of reality, opening a ray of hope through the recovery and conservation of an ecosystem that is now collapsing, raising awareness among people so that they have respect for the sea, but above all contributing information about a problem that is still underestimated.
