Family Stranded at Sea
This is the story of a family stranded in a lighthouse, isolated by the waves of the sea. This family of four, consisting of Nabil, Yasmin, their son Adam and daughter Jana, embark on this journey with the aim of saving their lives.
As the night falls, the lighthouse light is left on to guide those lost at sea. But their hopes are dashed. Facing a shortage of water and food, the two children try to survive under the protection of their parents.
“This is our land. Our heaven,” says Nabil. But this heaven is gradually turning into hell. The huge waves of the sea, strong winds and incessant rain threaten their lives.
Jana tries to play with her brother Adam like children, but she realizes that this situation is not so simple. “Are we going to die?” she asks her mother one day. There is no answer to that question.
Yasmin tries to stay strong for her children. But she is also breaking down. “Breathe in… breathe out…” is what she teaches her children about the survival of life.
One day, Adam finds a fresh water spring. This brings them great joy. But their joy is short-lived. Nabil’s injury becomes serious. Yasmin falls into the sea.
Finally, Adam is able to call for help on a radio communication device. “We are the only two children trapped here. Please help us,” he says.
Jana is scared with her brother. “I see my father and mother,” she says. “They will come to take care of us.”
With one breath, they hope to pass through the waves, cross the sky, and finally reach the shore. “Breathe in… breathe out… we have achieved it. Now open your eyes.”
The story ends on the border between liberation and hope. This story shows us how strong the human spirit is, in the battle between life and death.
