Bubble
London East End's last tropical fish shop
A tropical fish shop in the East End of London, the last of what used to be many. Tiny, watery dramas inside fish tanks accompany the thoughts of local fish-keepers, while father and son Big Tel and Little Tel work to keep the shop alive.
Winner, best short documentary Festival dei Popoli:
“From a small and apparently simple idea, the director draws a brilliant film, playing with the parallelism between animals and humans and offering a delicate portrait of an East London neighborhood. Very authentic and with a lot of tenderness and humor, the director succeeds to express a powerful atmosphere in a very short time.
We want to watch Bubble again and again and know more about the characters. It’s joyful and contagious with its lively humanity. A pure joy!”. - Judges, Festival dei Popoli
