The activity involves writing narrative texts after watching this short animated film without dialogue, which won an award at the Berlin Film Festival. The instructions are as follows:
After watching the short film "The Happy Fish," write a narrative that gives voice to the images seen in the video. The narrator must use either first or third person, and you must also place the events in a specific time and place. Remember to include descriptive passages and dialogue to characterize the characters and show their thoughts and feelings about the situation.
Below, we leave you with an excerpt from Alba's story corresponding to the ending of the story:
When he woke up, he realized that was what the fish had been trying to tell him—that he wanted to be free and not be locked up in a small fishbowl!
The man pondered this all day and decided to take the fish to a nearby sea and release it. When they arrived, he released it, and the fish thanked him immensely by giving him a kiss.
