A fashion commercial crew goes to shoot on the beach, only to discover that the installation built in advance has vanished due to the rising tide. Cal, an art assistant who has just entered the industry, has a strong sense of responsibility and self-esteem, and the task of finding the installation falls to her. Through her efforts, a drone flies out to search for the installation over the sea, while taking her into the unknown. The frantic and futile search is eventually transformed into a poetic and phantasmagorical journey.

Two years ago, I worked for a commercial production house. Many times when I exited the vast, closed, and gloomy studio to catch my breath, I could observe a stunning evening sunset in the suburbs that was borderless because to the absence of towering structures. However, no one was interested in such a view, and I had no opportunity to share my trembling. Consequently, the idea of producing a film on this experience emerged. The primary event about the lost installation owing to high tide came from a friend who had worked as an art assistant.
