The Sea
Lots of things in the universe have their definition; some are not.
When you describe the sea, it is vast and variable, endless and furious, turbulent, and foggy. It is formlessness, unfathomable, and chaos...
However, if people ask what the sea is, It might be hard to have a specific answer? Human reactions to the sea are found in, for example, literature, art, poetry, film, theatre, and classical music, as well as in mythology and the psychotherapeutic interpretation of dreams.
The notion of the sea is a blur and diversified. It even cannot be shown as an actual body. It is a conceptual film and a little surrealistic. The story is following a voice-over by a young girl; she always has a dream about a woman in the sea. After that, she embarked on a journey to find who is the woman. (the woman is a representation of the sea) She has strong curiosity, naive and innocent, acting instinctively.
