Set on the rugged north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, 'The Boy who Belonged to the Sea' tells the story of two lonely boys united by grief. Together they take refuge in a magical undersea world of their own creation, searching for a sense of belonging. But for one of them the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur, and the loyalty of his friend is put to the test in a journey that threatens to end in tragedy. 'The Boy Who Belonged to the Sea' is a mix of fantasy, melodrama, looming adolescence and nostalgia. Imagine 'My Brilliant Friend' meets 'Moonrise Kingdom' and '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Although the story is set in Canada, the landscape can be recreated in most places where co-production deals can be explored.
