About this film
In the tide-bound village of Arubara, Indonesia, a family’s deep connection to the sea is put to the test as ecological decline disrupts generations of tradition. Choosing restoration over immediate survival, the community halts fishing in a fragile gamble against time—revealing a poignant story of resilience, stewardship, and the uncertain balance between humanity and nature.
Directed by Manuel Alberto Maia
