[CinemaTalk] The latest Pixar Short Animation "Wind" tells his family's immigration story

The story is a metaphor for immigration. The setting for "Wind" is a little dark and post-apocalyptic with a sense of urgency to try to escape the current surroundings. But there's a sense of optimism and love between the two characters that infuses the short with a sense of family and hope.

The story begins with a grandmother and her young grandson living deep in an underground cavern. A tiny hole hundreds of feet above is their only connection to the outside world. By collecting debris that falls through, the pair build a rocket ship they plan to use to fly themselves out. The catch is that there’s only room in the cockpit for one.
