Synopsis

Somewhere in Kenya, an old fisherman called Mashoud strongly believes in his stories. Stories in which the sea is a spirit, where men can talk to fishes, and seahorses dance on the waves. The one Mashoud prefers is about his inexorable desire to capture a giant shark with his bare hands. After living for many years in England, director Jeroen van Velzen decides to go back to Kenya, where he grew up listening to these kinds of stories. He enters the world of memories, myths and supernatural so characteristic of the traditional art of African storytelling.
