My plan is to mould an unexpected coming of age story with
fragments from myths and dark fairy tales. A sensorial cinema
that invites us to question if there is an invisible world beyond
our five senses. Titanic Ocean starts off as a boarding school
film and gradually unfolds into pure fantasy, following the
esoteric journey of Akame into the vast ocean.
The visual palette is mostly muted and oscillates between
genres and styles, teasing the viewer’s initial assumptions.
A glossy mermaid world that is, simultaneously, shady;
colorful but bloodied. The film flirts with the unconventional
and, instead of highlighting the sparkles on the teenage
faces, desaturates the pinkish colours.
Semi-lit scenes and long hypnotic shots will reveal a
seductive mystery rather than a girlish drama.
