The short film Sea is a story about the sea and a couple. In the story, the girl and the boy are a couple who loved each other for years. They have fun, have trips and live together. They make meals, share household tasks and emotions in life. However, because of the difficulties happening in their life again and again, they put more and more negative emotions on each other, which alter their relationship forever. The work is based on real stories. The producer shares her own experience and expresses her own true feelings in this film. The audience can feel the storyline and the emotion between two characters through their dialogue and facial expression. The film also records the sea in four seasons.
