Synopsis
Wai-chan is one of the last remaining fishermen in Ushimado, a small village in Seto Inland Sea, Japan. At the age of 86, he still fishes alone on a small boat to make his living. Portrayed in black and white photography, Inland Sea poetically depicts the twilight days of a village and its people by the dreamlike Seto Inland Sea.
