In Sea to Analine, musician Muha embarks on a poetic quest to capture the hidden voices of the ocean. Determined to compose a song for his young niece Analine—who has never learned to swim and feels no connection to the sea—Muha sets out to record the sounds of coral for the very first time. But nature does not reveal itself easily. Faced with a series of challenges—technical, environmental, and emotional—Muha’s journey becomes one of persistence and vulnerability.

As the ocean slowly unveils its rhythms, Muha begins to understand that music is not just something we hear—it's something we feel. What begins as a gift for Analine becomes a deeper revelation: that sound can bridge worlds, and that the sea, through music, can reach even those who fear it.

Sea to Analine is a tender meditation on connection—between people, nature, and the emotions that flow beneath the surface.
