​🎞️ Synopsis
When Ah-Yao returns to Malaysia for his father’s funeral, religious authorities seize the body after discovering that his father had secretly converted to Islam. Refusing to accept the decision, Ah-Yao and his siblings set out to bring their father home.

Blending dark humour and family drama with the momentum of a road movie, The Waves Will Carry Us follows a family confronting memories and histories they never fully knew. What begins as a dispute over burial becomes a journey through migration, belief, and the unfinished stories carried across generations.

​阿耀返回馬來西亞奔喪,卻因為宗教機關發現父親生前已秘密改信伊斯蘭教,遺體遭到扣留。他與手足不願接受這個決定,決心把父親帶回家。

​《人生海海》融合黑色幽默、家庭劇與公路電影的節奏,跟著一家人直面他們從未真正了解的記憶與歷史。一場關於下葬的爭執,最後成了一趟穿越遷徙、信仰,以及那些跨世代未完故事的旅程。
