The Turtle

About This Movie

'The Turtle' is quite an intriguing piece, really. The plot centers around this boy who sneaks onto his father's boat, driven by a deep need to save a turtle. It's got that Mission Impossible vibe, but with a heart focused on environmental themes. The pacing feels tight, pulling you into this mix of adventure and urgency. The atmosphere captures both the beauty of the ocean and the struggle for survival. You can sense the passion in the performances, even though the director isn't widely known. What stands out is how it was produced for the UAE Expo in Korea, which gives it this unique backdrop. It’s also notable that it snagged 8 Best Film awards, and, fun fact, took home the Best Environmental Film at Cannes, which says something about its impact.
