The short film ‘Hope’ is about a newborn baby sea turtle named Aqua, born with a disability of having one fin smaller than the other. Unhappy with the disability, he leaves the nest and starts his journey to the sea. After overcoming several obstacles from both human pollution and predators by using his mind and witnessing a life-changing scene, he finally arrives at the end of his journey and enters the sea grateful with what God gave him. The story of Aqua aims to teach its viewers two things; never look at what you don’t have, but at what you have, and also to never give up.
