Do you want to join me for a walk along the shore?
SMILE AND WAVE is an essay film set in a tidal landscape in Northern Norway. Might one say something about life by portraying a place? Might one understand more of oneself by contemplating one’s passions? The flow of the tide and memories of the past are intertwined in this story about the vulnerability of life and what remains when something is gone. Fascination with nature led to a French marine biologist, to heart urchins, and to a father.
