Synopsis

Cast out by others for his inability to swim, a penguin is left alone to figure out what he can use to stay afloat as the tide heightens. After his small boat breaks and a plank he used as a surf board goes missing, he finds an abandoned plane that could solve his problems. With an anti-bullying message, this short animation is a story about believing in yourself and kindness.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
