Ayumu Watanabe directed Children of the Sea. It came out in 2019 and focuses on Ruka, a girl who feels disconnected from her family and classmates. She meets two mysterious boys raised by dugongs who seem to have a connection to the ocean. Strange events follow as Ruka discovers how deeply life and the sea are connected. The visuals capture underwater scenes with breathtaking detail, making the ocean feel alive. The film’s focus on nature and life’s mysteries leaves a lasting impression. It deserved more recognition for its artwork and how it explores the relationship between humans and the world around them.
