Fisherman

'Fisherman' follows a young girl’s mission to discover her ancestor’s land. Aided by magical energies, the creatures of the sea and the will of the ancient ocean, our heroine sets off on a quest. Stowed away in a fisherman’s boat, she crosses the wild sea. A storm catapults her cheek to cheek with the ocean bed, where instead of drowning, she discovers her gift for shapeshifting and awakens her true power within.
