PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Domien Huyghe and Wendy Huyghe, director and screenwriter of the film Sea Sparkle.

Sea Sparkle is the opening film in the Generation KPlus section at the Berlinale Film Festival. A delicate film about grief and the importance of accepting and (then) sharing your emotions. We talked with Damien and Wendy Huyghe, director and screenwriter of the film, that told us about the birth of this film, what it means to them, and much more…

Sea Sparkle: Lena loves the ocean. Battling the wind and waves on her sailing boat, she is as passionate and fearless as her father on his fishing expeditions. But one day, he and the rest of his crew do not return. Some say it was an accident; others say he had been reckless. Lena is sure it could not have been his fault. They must have encountered a gigantic sea creature, causing the boat to capsize. The signs are everywhere: from a shadow in the water, to a large tooth stuck in a piece of driftwood. If only she could find that one, decisive piece of evidence, she could stand up to her family and friends and prove them all wrong. Thus begins a requiem of rage and a tale of letting go and of holding on – to the inexplicable, and to one another.
