About This Movie

The visuals are striking, almost surreal at times, capturing both the beauty and the harshness of life on the water. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and think about the delicate balance between nature and humanity. It's not just about fishing; it touches on the connection between people and their environment, depicted through charming visuals and a thoughtful narrative.
