Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in the Bathtub, a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink's tough love prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he's no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, nature flies out of whack, temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. With the waters rising, the aurochs coming, and Wink's health fading, Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother. Written by Sundance Film Festival
This film follows a young girl named Hush Puppy who lives in an impoverished community in the American Deep South. They have all the problems you'd expect but there are so many connections and are happy the way things are. We see a dichotomy between the inner world of humanity and the outer world of bureaucracy.
