Finding Dory

Summary
Dory, the regal blue tang, gets separated from her parents, Jenny and Charlie, as a
child. As she grows up, she gradually forgets them due to her short-term memory
loss. She eventually meets and joins the clownfish Marlin, looking for his son,
Nemo.[b]

One year after meeting Marlin and Nemo, Dory lives with them in their reef as
their next-door neighbor. One day, she remembers her parents and that they lived
at the "Jewel of Morro Bay, California". She embarks on a journey to find them
again and Marlin and Nemo accompany her.

With the help of Crush, their sea turtle friend, they ride the California Current to
California. Dory accidentally awakens a giant Humboldt squid that almost devours
Nemo. Worried, she leaves to look for help and is captured by staff members from
the Marine Life Institute.

Dory is placed in quarantine and tagged. She meets a brusque but well-meaning
seven-legged octopus named Hank. Dory's tag marks her for transfer to an
aquarium in Cleveland, Ohio. Hank, who fears being released back into the ocean,
agrees to help her find her parents in exchange for her tag. In one exhibit, Dory
encounters Bailey, a beluga whale, and her childhood friend Destiny, a nearsighted
whale shark, who used to communicate with Dory through the pipes as kids. She
finally remembers how she was separated from her parents: she was accidentally
pulled away by an undertow current into the pipes and out into the ocean.

Meanwhile, Marlin and Nemo attempt to rescue Dory. With the help of two
California sea lions and a common lion named Becky, they get into the institute
and find her. Other blue tangs tell them that Dory's parents escaped years ago to
search for her and never came back, leading Dory to believe that they are dead.
Hank unintentionally drops Dory into the drain, flushing her out to the ocean. She
comes across a trail of shells; remembering that her parents would set out similar
shell trails to help her find her way back home, she follows it to a brain coral,
where she reunites with her parents. They tell her they stayed close to home and
spent years laying down the shell trails for her in the hopes that she would
eventually find them again.

Marlin, Nemo, and Hank end up in the truck taking various aquatic creatures to
Cleveland. Destiny and Bailey escape from their exhibit to help Dory rescue them.
Onboard the truck, Dory persuades Hank to return to the sea with her, and
together, they hijack the truck and crash it into the sea, freeing all the fish. Dory,
along with her parents and new friends, returns to the reef with Marlin and
Nemo, whom she now considers family, and they all settle into a new life together.

In a post-credits scene, the Tank Gang (from Finding Nemo), still trapped inside
their plastic bags, reach California after floating across the Pacific Ocean for a year.
To their dismay, they are picked up by staff members from the Marine Life
Institute.

Barriers of communication
In the movie "Finding Dory," one of the communication barriers is Dory's short-
term memory loss. Dory, the main character, suffers from short-term memory
loss, which makes it challenging for her to remember things and communicate
effectively. This creates obstacles in her efforts to find her family and
communicate with other sea creatures. Despite her limitations, Dory's
determination and the support of her friends help her overcome these
communication barriers throughout the film.

Family communication, stages of relationship development, forming relationships,

managing conflict, and relationship intimacy all play a part in interpersonal
communications in the movie Finding Dory. While watching a movie you do not
consider these things, until writing a paper and it pulls your attention toward
these things. Interpersonal communication plays a great role in many scenes in
this movie. Many characters share their

feelings, and exchange their thoughts and emotions through nonverbal and verbal
communication.
