About Wind
Wind follows a grandmother and her young grandson as they find themselves trapped in an endless chasm that seems to breathe with the world around them. They strip the shifting debris that washes in and out of their pocket of space, turning scraps into a fragile shelter and a means to keep hopeful fires burning. The desire to escape grows into a plan for a life beyond the stone walls and startling gusts that surround them, and their bond becomes the only guarantee of safety. In a world where magic bleeds into everyday life, tiny acts of courage and memory push them toward a horizon that might finally mean home. The world feels patient and expansive for all who listen.
Wind is an animated feature directed by Edwin Chang. It centers on a grandmother and her grandson and uses magical realist sensibility to tell a quiet story about family and resilience. Emilio Fuentes voices Ellis while Sonoko Konishi voices Grandma.
