Director's Statement
"I’ve known this coastline ever since I was a little boy. In my imagination, it has always been a place of beauty and inspiration. Only when I started making this documentary did I discover how harsh life can be and how hard the fisherfolk must strive to make a living here. This makes me appreciate this memorable place even more than I did before."
