Turkey | 3 min | Animation | 2022 | Short Film (Animation) | No Dialogue

The central character is an old fisherman named Santiago, who has not caught a fish for 84 days.Santiago takes his skiff far out into the deep waters of the Gulf Stream, where he soon hooks a giant marlin. With all his great experience and strength, he struggles with the fish for three days, admiring its strength, dignity, and faithfulness to its identity; its destiny is as true as Santiago’s as a fisherman. He finally reels the marlin in and lashes it to his boat. However, Santiago’s exhausting effort goes for naught. Sharks are drawn to the tethered marlin, and, although Santiago manages to kill a few, the sharks eat the fish, leaving behind only its skeleton.

Original Language

Ana karakter, 84 gündür tek balık yakalayamayan Santiago adlı yaşlı bir balıkçıdır. Tüm büyük deneyimi ve gücüyle, balıkla üç gün boyunca mücadele eder, gücüne, haysiyetine ve kimliğine olan sadakatine hayran kalır; kaderi bir balıkçı kadar Santiago'nunki kadar gerçek. Sonunda marlin'i makaraya sardı ve teknesine bağladı. Ancak Santiago'nun yorucu çabası boşa gider. Köpekbalıkları bağlı marlinlere çekilir ve Santiago birkaçını öldürmeyi başarsa da köpekbalıkları balığı yerler ve geride sadece iskeletini bırakırlar.
