When the scholar Jeong Yak-jeon is exiled to Heuksando Island during the Catholic Persecution of 1801, he decides to write a fish-based encyclopaedia.
A quiet, scholarly dignity radiates from the central performance as an exiled intellectual seeks solace in the sea. This lush period piece transforms a catalog of marine life into a breathtaking visual poem about survival and legacy.
