The movie is about the lives of Haenyo, women divers living on Jeju Island, Korea. They dive about 10-20 meters under the sea without a breathing apparatus because the law prohibits the use of oxygen tanks, holding their breath for about 2-3 minutes, to pick marine products. Haenyo believe in a paradise called Iodo that helps them overcome poverty.
