Peace Of Heart Directed by Misha McCullagh
PEACE OF HEART is the story of Ailsa, a young girl who lives in a coastal village with her mum. After being asked to write a short story in school, Ailsa remembers an old island tale her mum used to tell whenever she asked about her dad. Mum said he moved across the sea to an island far away, where he buried his heart and changed who he was. Ailsa’s imaginative interpretation of the story leads her to believe that her Dad also took a piece of their hearts with him and she is determined to get them back. Through a dreamlike sequence, Ailsa flies to the island, surrounded by seabirds. On the beach there, she finds a few familiar items belonging to her Dad. When she encounters a humansized seagull version of him, Ailsa bravely faces the truth and in doing so finds the closure that makes their hearts whole again. (2025, Animation, 00:11:27, Scotland)
