Our Intergalactic Nightmare Is Over — Payakan Is Back

In the 2022 movie, Payakan is shunned from his sophisticated space-whale community due to his quest for vengeance against cruel humans who murdered his mother, which he described as an unbearably painful memory. Despite going against the peaceful Tulkun Way, his rebellious and determined nature are what ultimately enable him to rescue his fellow Tulkun from treacherous whalers near the film’s end.

‘Wake Up’ Review: An Eco-Protest in an Ikea-Style Showroom Gives New Meaning to ‘Direct Action’

Originating from the remnants of RKSS, a Canadian filmmaking group known for “Turbo Kid” and “Summer of 84”, comes a grittier, less pompous English-language thriller.
