The story
Ellida, played by Alicia Vikander, lives a comfortable but restless life married to Edward (Andrew Lincoln), a prosperous doctor. Their coastal setting feels secure… but unliving. When a former lover shows up, Ellida must confront her longing for freedom and the life she left behind. As memory and desire collide, choice becomes urgent—and the sea waits with its answer.
