The sea and its fisherfolk share a timeless bond. Life at sea follows a rhythm of carefully charted journeys into deep waters, guided by the sun, moon, and stars to harvest nature’s bounty.
In Kerala, we explore the traditional ‘kambawala’ fishing technique, where the catch, beyond nourishing families, is preserved as pickles—evoking cherished memories.
We then travel to Paradip, Odisha, tracing the story of a cross-cultural family from Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, where fish becomes a cultural anchor in unfamiliar surroundings. The contrast between Odia and Telugu cooking traditions highlights how food ties identity to place, even as landscapes and flavors evolve.
This documentary reveals the enduring relationship between tradition, food, and identity, showcasing how the sea’s bounty nourishes both body and soul across generations.
