Summary
Songmi feels skeptical about her life as a designer at a clothing company. She is overworked and weary of repeating the same daily routine. She quits and decides to become a free diving underwater performer. The deeper she dives into the sea the more she feels her body and mind healing. Songmi wants to return this ‘gift’ from the sea. She goes on a challenge to create a special underwater performance with an installation artist, Bosung and an aqua aerobic instructor, Doui. A youth campaign shot in Jeju, Palau and Cebu is a silent cry for help of a mermaid in the middle of the Pacific ocean stuck in the forest of plastic. They send out a message of warning on the seriousness of plastic waste in our seas.
