The story

The documentary follows Rohani, an 80-year-old Bajau Laut fisherman living in a remote part of the Sulu Archipelago, Indonesia. For over six decades, he has honed his free-diving skills, enabling him to dive up to 20 meters underwater on one breath to hunt fish with a spear gun, a practice central to the Bajau's nomadic, sea-based culture. The film captures Rohani's daily life, from diving in coral reefs to sharing stories of his youth, including learning to swim before walking and diving with his father at age five.
