Abstract
A daughter's fascination with her father's long lost dreams of sailing told through a love poem. Mr. Sim Thian Lye used to work on a cargo ship in his twenties and loves to share stories about his days at the sea. Despite his old age now, his curiosity and dreams of travel are still there, hidden somewhere inside his soul. Presented in a documentary poetry style, the film explores the idea of how one can seek solace in life by reconciling with the deepest part of themselves.
