Speak to the Tide

Lin Mo-niang, a young woman from a coastal village, hears the ocean's whisper every morning. Her dialogues with the tides seem like madness to her neighbors until fishermen find ancient storm prophecies in her nets instead of fish. Skeptics and believers alike flock to her hut, demanding either a miracle or an exposure. But Lin Mo-niang keeps talking to the sea, and her quiet replies begin to alter the fates of all who dare to listen. The film explores the boundaries of faith and reality through the lens of an isolated community where legends intertwine with the daily struggle for survival. The director avoids definitive interpretations, leaving space for the viewer's own understanding of the encounter between the mystical and the human.
