Repetition of the 2023 IDA winning film. The film will be announced on May 10.
The devastating 2011 Tsunami off the coast of Japan have left a deep and lasting wound. In countless dives in the sea, Yasu continues to search for his wife. Satoko hopes to find a new love by overcoming his trauma, and Sachiko writes letters to her husband who was swept away by the waves. In the meantime, nature is already forging new paths and new life forms thrive thousands of meters below sea level.
In a breathtaking odyssey, Jennifer Rainsford follows the movements of the ocean and tells of grief and how man and nature reunite after traumatic events. And so, a cinematic essay develops into a mosaic-like meditation about invisible bonds.
