What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Nemo is a little clownfish who lives in a beautiful coral reef teaming with sea life, excited about his first day at fish school. His father, Marlin, tends to be overprotective after the loss of Nemo's mother so when the unthinkable happens and Nemo goes missing, Marlin is distraught. Nevertheless, he sets off on a mission through the wilderness of the ocean to track him down, with the help of his lovable but forgetful fish friend, Dory. With Nemo trapped in a fish tank in a dentist's office and all manner of creatures standing (or rather, swimming) in their way, how will father and son ever meet up again? The aquatic world is captured in all its colourful glory in this lovable Disney Pixar animation about loyalty, family and adventure.
