A pair of married, marine scientists get the job of a lifetime; to dissect a freshly deceased blue whale. The issues that exist in their marriage seep into the project. The gift this whale has to offer may not just be to science, but also matters of the heart.

Director's Statement

Coming from a very personal place, this story highlights the things that we can’t give the ones we love the most. Kim desires to be touched. Reggie, with his mindset, doesn’t see it or make time for it. She knows what she needs and he knows his limitations. So when Kim finally feels something, she leans into it and all Reggie can do is sit back and watch.
