After a storm at sea, the young girl Shenxiu finds herself in a colorful, dreamlike new world. Here, she embarks on a journey to find the mythical «Eye of the Deep Sea.»

Shenxiu has carried a deep sadness since her mother left her when she was little. Her father's new family doesn't make it any easier, and during a cruise trip, she ends up falling in the sea. On her way down into the depths, she unexpectedly receives help and finds herself with Master Chef Nanhe, who operates a seafood restaurant. He becomes her salvation in the quest to find her mother. This is a touching story, created with a combination of 3D animation and xieiyi painting that is truly impressive.
