Molly's Blues

A depressed whale rediscovers her purpose in life after the arrival of her illegitimate child.

synopsis

In the ocean, the moment you are born determines not only your place in the food chain but also your place in society. Molly Dikk, the most depressed and lazy mama whale in the seven seas, gets a second chance at motherhood after the arrival of Polly, the result of a one-night stand with a seahorse years ago. Unbeknownst to Molly, the seahorse got pregnant. Polly’s existence threatens the natural order of things because it is impossible to determine who can eat this mixed-species. Being an anomaly, Polly is in danger from various wicked parties who want to use her for their own selfish reasons including a twisted pedofish network run by an evil television host dolphin, a politically ambitious whale-shark, and a low class fish-resistance movement. Molly will have to seize the day and swim through dangerous political waters to take down an unfair class system which does not serve the interests of anyone except the predators who resist change. Will Molly do a job whale done?

Director’statement

What can a whale tell us about our modern society? From the feeling of not fiting the box to the guilt of not being able to change the world, Molly lives under water but has more human issues to solve than anyone else. Molly’s Blues explores anxiety, hope and love from a wet point of view.
