What Is Breathing Underwater About?
The premise of Breathing Underwater without spoilers.
Off the southern coast of Korea, in Jeju Province, reside the haenyeo, women who free dive for seaweed and shellfish without scuba gear. These skilled divers harvest from depths of 10 to 20 meters, supporting their livelihoods through a traditional practice. The community is structured into tiers based on skill, where breath-holding ability, or "sum," is a crucial factor determined at birth. The film offers a six-year chronicle of their lives on Udo, an islet considered the birthplace of the haenyeo, providing a glimpse into their challenging existence on the boundary of life and death, where desire must be contained.
