Echoes, the afterlife of a shipwreck

An introspective short film set against the backdrop of the ocean's mysterious depths, following the story of a wood-made vessel becoming a metaphor for memory, resilience, and the inexorable passage of time, only to meet its final fate as it sinks into the depths of the ocean.
