Seahorse

2026 · 80 min

A quiet, closely observed character drama that sits with grief and frayed family bonds, asking patience as it slowly opens toward fragile hope.

Overview: Nola, a sous chef, is seeking stability after a stay in a mental health facility. After a hectic dinner shift, she crashes her bike—and wakes to find her estranged, unhoused father, standing over her. As she takes him in, old wounds resurface, and her world unravels. Caught between past and present, love and loss, Nola must navigate grief, forgiveness, and the fragile hope of healing.
