“From down here, sunsets look like frozen fireworks trapped in a magic lamp.” Far from everything beneath the ocean’s surface has been catalogued, leading to an endless stream of speculations and fantasies for a poetic discourse by an entity from the deep. The images, fused together and mostly from above the surface, refer to our relationship with the sea and the consequences of human actions for nature. The hypnotising soundtrack pulls us into the depths.
