An animated adaptation of a short story by Canadian West Coast writer Ethel Wilson, From Flores tells the story of a shipwreck. A small fishing boat heading down the isolated west coast of Vancouver Island with four people aboard runs into a storm. Through panic and bad judgment the boat crashes onto a reef and sinks, leaving no survivors. The tragedy of the story lies with the people left behind, those who waited with expectation.
