Story
The Red Turtle is an animated French/Japanese movie with no dialogue. The movie tells the story of a shipwrecked sailor who washes up on a lonely tropical island. Although there seem to be no humans on the island, it has lots of animals, including turtles, birds and crabs. Hoping to escape, the man uses materials from the island to build himself a raft, but his plan is repeatedly foiled by a giant red turtle. Although initially frustrated, the sailor gradually begins to bond with the creature.
The man also eventually meets a woman, and the two begin a family together. The man and his family go through a series of tribulations that threaten to destroy the life they've built together.

Ideas to discuss with your children
The Red Turtle is a simple but beautiful movie that encourages audiences to identify with the nameless shipwrecked man. Because it has no dialogue, the movie avoids imposing specific meanings, but invites audiences to watch the story unfold and come to their own conclusions.
The movie explores the question of whether you need material possessions to live a fulfilled life. It's also interested in the way that a life can take an unexpected and even unwanted direction, but can be full of value if you accept change and uncertainty.
The Red Turtle is best suited to viewers over 10 years. Because of its themes and scenes that might disturb younger children, we don't recommend this movie for children under 8 years. And we do recommend parental guidance for children aged 8-10 years.

The people in such cases say so - Perhaps we will be alive, perhaps we will die.
The theme is interesting, I will take part in discussion.
It is a pity that I cannot express myself now - there is no free time. I will be set free - I will definitely give my opinion on this matter.
I think I make mistakes. I am able to prove it.
I believe that you are wrong. I'm sure. Email me at PM, we will talk.
