SEAWEED

Adam, 12, is still grieving his mother’s recent death when he sees that his father is donating her clothes to a secondhand shop. He decides to get her things back, but when a drifter buys his mother’s hat and refuses to return it, Adam follows the man deep into the desert. There, in the wild and timeless landscape, a unique companionship based on shared pain is built, and Adam learns an important lesson about nature and loss.
