Description

On the small island of Surin, near the naval border of Thailand and Myanmar, an indigenous people referred to as Moken ‘sea gypsies’ struggle to deal with the same timeless existence as their ancestors.

As real estate developers, oil exploration and industrial tourism reshape the waters they call home, Sayarer receives a mysterious offer from an idealistic Luxembourger decided to tell a tale of the Moken on film, and on the lookout for a creator to detail the efforts of his motley crew.

Events unfold in a reality strangely different to that version captured by the lens. In the quest for indigenous wisdom, cameras and tripods clutter bamboo huts, even as fishing trips and dives are staged beneath the waves. With the quest for paradise seeming ever more artificial, award-winning creator, Julian Sayarer as an alternative begins paying attention to the stories of Laurie, an old sailor, with a life on the water in the back of him, and in whose ship the crew sail out into the Andaman Sea.
