Ostende – La Mer – Un Jour is a kind of graphic novel which comes down to showing pictures and then a voice-over of the people who are photographed tell what we see.

In a few brief moments in the life of a young girl, we see her drawing on the window with a marker as she sings and chats, and walking along the main road on her way to meet her friend, meanwhile surrounded by cars and trucks racing dangerously close to her.

Guri and his mother, Sanata, have been living in a mountainous village of Georgia, with a dog – Tuia. The visual observational journey vividly shows motherhood’s bond, image of everlasting, pure, endearing union. Meanwhile, living in harmony, what happens if a third person intrudes in their tacit relationship. The young lady’s rapid appearance arouses questions – to what direction their life will turn, what will be transformed, lost, or gained.
