In a cold, lonely world, where buildings are like icebergs and people drift past each other on icefloes, Guy imagines belonging to a colony of penguins. From his window, he sees May, who also dreams of penguins. Inspired by the courage of penguins plunging off an icefloe into the unknown, he jumps off his own doorstep. Traversing dark waters, he searches the city’s streets looking for May. Connecting through their love of penguins, Guy and May are transformed. Overcoming their isolation, they face their world together.

This multimedia animated short combines stop-motion and digital animation with the icy beauty of Antarctica. In imagination, the characters enter the world of live action penguins and animated penguins also appear in their world. Music by David Cardona and Ian Kelk expresses the longing of the characters that they have no words to express.
