In an intimate exploration of the waters of the Torres Strait, and those brave enough to risk their lives at the depths of the ocean, this dance film takes a brief look at the athleticism and stamina of two divers who put their lives on the line in search of the treasured pearl shells.

This production features the First Nations language Kala Lagaw Ya (Central & Western Torres Strait Islands).
