＜STORY＞
Miguel, a sarcastically pessimistic radio host of a show named “The Ship,” is submerged in an endless routine. Miguel's life turns upside down after receiving a call from an amazing seven-year-old kid who asks him to help fulfill his last wish before he dies: To travel in “The Ship” to see the ocean for the first and last time. Miguel will have to use his imagination and step out of his comfort zone in order to grant this extraordinary request before it's too late.
