Director Statement

The exploration in the sea is a task that can never be completed. Starting from Taiwan and the outlying islands, we venture further into other seas. We hope that by understanding the sea better, we will know how to protect and appreciate it more.
We have spent two years filming. Every time we dive into the sea, we get to know a little more about it. But what the sea has given us in return is more than we can hope for, and it deeply moves us.
Eventually, we have learned that we can never stop exploring the sea.
