The short film, which is inspired by 1940s educational films from the U.S., will follow the journey of Susie as she tries to learn about both the people and the water that surrounds her. Interactive elements include a beach proposal station where visitors pop the question “Will You Be My Friend?”, then they can have a consultation with The Friendship Lawyer with whom they can draw up a friendship contract, and finally they can make their way to the “Sands of Time: Sharing is Caring Reflection Hour” where they can contemplate how much time they have for this whole friendship thing anyway.
