The story tells the life of Lui, who is a hawksbill turtle in danger of extinction, we will see his birth, and progressively how he becomes an adult.
In this adventure he will meet Griffin, a yellow butterfly fish, who lives in the reefs near where Lui is normally living. The two of them will become inseparable, and from the moment they met, one always moved side by side with the other.
Everything was going great in the sea, until one day a boat of poachers arrived in the area where Lui was, and since that moment, their life took a 360° turn.
After that event, different things happened that resulted in the fact that the only thing that remained of Lui was his shell, which later became an object that many people use in their daily lives.
My motivation for telling this story is to create awareness in people about the respect that should be given to defenseless animals; I would like to try to make people more aware of their actions and see the background of things, that they can come to see that an object is just an object, but a life is worth more.

Director's Biography
My name is Belén Prado, I am 21 years old and I live in Peru.
I am a graphic designer, I have my own branding studio, called Be You, which is about to celebrate its first year since it was created.
I consider myself a cheerful, enthusiastic, optimistic and respectful person; I always enjoy setting goals for myself, and keep improving my knowledge every time I can. I also love to help others whenever I have the opportunity, and to bring a smile to those around me.
In the same time that I have my branding studio, I continue studying at the university, the career of advertising graphic design, in fact this is my penultimate year.
Although I really like what I do nowadays, my dream has always been to dedicate myself to animation, and that's why with a lot of effort and dedication last year I managed to finish my first animated short film, called Lui.
