I saw this short film at the Duluth film festival and it took my breath away! The scenery was gorgeous and the story line about a little girl as the last survivor of some sort nuclear fallout stirred many emotions in me. It was hard to watch the part where her foot is trapped in rocks. It is at this point that she first sees the island spirit. Two Breaths is the spirit of the island that manifests as a manta ray who appears when islanders need it most.

There is so much packed into only 19 minutes! Two Breaths helps the little girl reach a boat she spots on the distant horizon.

I would love to see a feature film made out of this. This has a timeless storyline, beautiful scenery and cinematography, and an intriguing main character. I highly recommend you see this movie!
