After his father’s sudden death, a teenage boy takes over the family’s oyster farm.
As he works, memories begin to return.
He turns to a ritual, sending them out to sea.
Oyster farming follows a cycle. It comes from the sea and returns to it.
In Kouhu, this rhythm is part of how people understand life and death. The film draws from this.
Through the Water Lantern Ceremony, it looks at remembrance and letting go.
