SYNOPSIS

A lonely seagull looking for love struggles to accept that his newfound object of affection is a human-operated drone with limited battery life. 

NOTE

[Radheya Jegatheva, Director]

Unrequited love is so universal, and this film was a way for me to tap into my own feelings and experiences of one-sided love through non-human characters, exploring the relationship between the natural and unnatural.​
