Studio Ghibli’s first international co-production is a ravishing castaway fable that combines beauty, mystery, drama and heartbreak. It’s yet another triumph for Oscar awarded animator Michael Dudok de Wit. The story reminds Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe", but overcomes it with unexpected twist. A man marooned on a desert island tries desperately to escape, until one day he encounters a strange red turtle that will change his life. In this authentic animated silent film the nature and human being are faced to each other in a serene atmosphere.
