DramaRomance

In the 1950s, a Japanese-American fisherman is suspected of killing his neighbour at sea. For Ishmael, a local reporter, the trial strikes a deep emotional chord when he finds his ex-lover is linked to the case. As he investigates the killing, he uncovers some startling clues that lead him to a shocking discovery.

VIBE

A hauntingly beautiful period piece that washes over you like a tide. It's a slow, deliberate immersion into a world of simmering prejudice, lost love, and the weight of unspoken history. The atmosphere is thick with regret and a quiet, persistent ache.
