Synopsis
Graham has built the most spectacular sandcastle on the beach, complete with air conditioning and all mod-cons. But when the tide rises he can't give it up and vows to fight the ocean rather than move to higher ground.
This allegorical film critiques the idea that technological solutions can save us from climate change while maintaining our decadent lifestyles.
