Pursuit Of Pearl

After a devastating storm takes his father’s life, a young Dubai pearl diver is left drifting alone in the open sea, exhausted and fighting to stay alive. As he finally loses hope and slips beneath the surface, he is enveloped by a colossal jellyfish and transported into a surreal, luminous world that transforms him. Years later, he returns to the same shore as an old man, carrying the memory of his father and the miracle that saved him.
