Sumbi: A Life Beneath the Waves

Designated as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage,
Jeju's haenyeo are more than just women who hold their breath—
they are women who save their breath.

Sumbi is a poetic documentary told through the voice of an aging diver.
It captures the lives of women who survived alongside the sea,
balancing on the edge of life and death.

The first breath exhaled after surfacing—called sumbi—
is not just air, but proof of life,
and a promise exchanged among those who return.

This film remembers that breath.
