YELLOWFIN
World Premiere
79th Festival de Cannes
Immersive Competition

After years in an Indonesian prison, Popi returns to his coastal village only to find his wife has moved on and started a new family. Adrift in his own life, he takes to the waters of the Celebes Sea, seeking solace and purpose. His solitary journey takes a surreal turn when he rescues a stranded Indonesian coast guard, stumbles upon a hidden trove of gold, and comes face-to-face with a wounded mermaid.
