Beach Flags
Ajyal Competition
Synopsis
Vida, a young Iranian lifeguard, has a good shot at representing her country at the international Beach Race in Australia – at least, until her coach adds a new girl, Sareh, to the team. Lanky and quick as a flash, Sareh outruns Vida time and time again. One day, by chance, Vida sees Sareh working in a field and begins to recognise that her opponent needs this opportunity more than she does. This beautifully animated short shows us that real winners help those in need.
