Flipper (1996)

Flipper The story begins when Sandy comes to the place where he has his holidays. He meets his uncle, a very strong and a great man. His uncle has a boat called “redidabele”. When they are sailing, they see two dolphins; the biggest dolphin was shot and you can see she is going to die “This is not fishing boy, this is murdering!” Sandy’s uncle says. The other dolphin was not hurt. He seems to like Sandy and his uncle because he keeps on swimming after their boat all the way home. When they arrive at home, Sandy meets Mark. Mark is a little boy with big glasses and a yellow macintosh. He lives in the neighbourhood. He likes to monkey with engines. They say hello to each other. Later that day Sandy meets Kim and talks with her about “his” dolphin. Than he hears some noise “Sorry I’m going to check” he says and he runs quickly to the dock; there he sees a dolphin. It’s the same dolphin as he has met earlier that day. He decides to give him the name “Flipper”. Suddenly Flipper throws a can to Sandy and Sandy throws it back. And yes, Flipper throws it again and Sandy also throws it back. About three times they do this game. They become friends. The next day Mark meets Flipper and Mark is laughing because Flipper makes funny noises and moves. Than, somewhat later, they hear a not so nice voice, it is Flipper and some men have captured him in a fishing-net. Sandy’s uncle doesn’t want that so he goes to the fishing-net
and destroys it with his knife. “What are you doing?” they ask him. “I am setting him free”, he answers. “Ha ha the great greenpeace warrior” they reply. Meanwhile Flipper swims away.
