The Way You Sea Me
The film tells the story of a brief encounter between two kids who have very different ways of seeing the world around them. And the sea, who embraces this moment.
The boy, afraid of what the sea might hold for him, and the girl, used to seeing poetry everywhere around her, learn together that in order to enjoy life, all you need to do is give into your senses. Through this life-changing encounter they both learn to overcome their fears and enjoy their world around them.
