Write a short summary of what happens in the film
This piece is an ode to those who cherish the beach life; elaborating on these people as a species and treating the film as a documentary that delves deeper into their lives. Slow motion beauty shots of them on the beach portrays, visually, the kind of activities, preferences, and skills this species enjoys. The documentary-style voiceover explaining their lifestyle further enhances the visuals by hammering home the enjoyment behind all these activities, especially with the three lines from Daft Punk's highly catchy Get Lucky. Finally, the tagline "Inhabit the Sea" appearing as we go underwater ends the film on a literal note which hammers home the message about this seemingly delightful and happy species.
Cultural / Context information for the jury
Egypt is well endowed when it comes to coastal destinations with a lot of the upper/middle class often visiting coastal destinations such as the North Coast on the Mediterranean, Gouna/Hurghada on the Red Sea, and Sokhna, the location of our film, further north also on the Red Sea and only an hour and a half away from Cairo. Seaside living is a staple of Egyptian life and this dreamy vision of Sokhna is exactly what our demographic is looking for when considering a seaside resort.

HOMO-SEA-PIANS
Commonly known as the sea people
A rare species that are half people, and half … well jellyfish maybe!
Those magnificent creatures, live unseparated from the sea all summer long …
And all autumn long and winter … and spring
They are special, Travel in groups And settle in the warmest .. or shall I say the coolest spots.
Their delicate skin can endure the burning heat of summer, and the shivering cold of winter.
Yet among all sea creatures they live the most extravagant lives.
Unlike fish they are capable of flying, and unlike birds they lay no eggs.
They’re hard workers, yet also …
They’re up all night till the sun
They’re up all night to get some
They’re up all night to get lucky
And in the end of a long day, They lie down on the sand for hours And sleep like the world has no end
KAI .. Inhabit The Sea.
