Flotsam

A figure crouches beneath a transparent sheet in a snowy field at dusk, with illuminated high-rise buildings glowing in the distance.

Flotsam follows an ageing fisherman and a young fish struggling to survive in Kazakhstan’s polluted capital Astana. This poetic tale explores capitalism, environmental decay, and the deep interconnectedness of human and animal conscious experiences in an increasingly industrialised world.
