Plot summary
The haenyeo are women on Jeju, South Korea, who earn their living by diving in the ocean for seafood. In the community shown, every diver is over sixty, and the group is declining in numbers. Japan's announced plan for the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to discharge irradiated water into the ocean adds a political and international dimension to their lives, since it might harm the women's health or the livelihood they draw from the sea.
