When drought and a river transfer plan threaten the balance of the Ebro Delta, Mar, an 11-year-old girl, sets out on an adventure to defend her home, discovering the importance of connecting with nature.
Pink Punk Delta tells the story of Mar, an eleven-year-old girl who feels invisible within her family and in her surroundings in the Ebro Delta. Through her magical bond with flamingos and other birds, Mar discovers the beauty and fragility of the nature around her. When a water transfer threatens to destroy the Delta’s ecosystem, Mar, accompanied by her inseparable dog Orco and the flamingos, leads an unexpected rebellion that awakens collective awareness and transforms her own perception of herself and her home.
Director’s statement
Pink Punk Delta is a coming-of-age through the eyes of Mar, an eleven-year-old girl who discovers her first true sense of belonging through nature. Inspired by my own summers in the Ebro Delta, this story reflects both the fragility of a threatened ecosystem and the opportunity for a spiritual reconnection with our environment. Mar experiences an intimate transition from childhood to adolescence, discovering the power of play, imagination and empathy. The film draws inspiration from works like "Totoro", "The Neverending Story" or "Spirit of the Beehive", while capturing the culture, landscapes and inhabitants of the Delta.
Pink Punk Delta invites both young and adult audiences to reflect on our relationship with nature, with our communities and ourselves, reminding us that we can transform society through tenderness and cooperation. It is an intimate ode to life, to hope and to reconnection with the world around us.
