Description
“Sometimes I really hate you,” the boy says to his mother. They have just moved to a remote island during the off-season. The mother is trying to restart her life after a rough breakup with the boy’s father, but the boy struggles to find his place in their new home. As the mother becomes invigorated, the boy becomes increasingly dark and secluded. Gradually, the mother realizes that some of the choices we make can have fatal consequences. “The Ocean” is inspired by one of the most peculiar laws of physics – the second law of thermodynamics, which posits that disorder always increases in the universe. Quantum physicist Ulrich Hoff puts everything into perspective in an enlightening postscript.
