More than 300 years ago, the legendary pirate captain YEN buried a large amount of treasure in the blue sea. YEN's later generations, Dong-Jing and Bei-Wei grew up with their father. The brother’s whole life was about finding the treasure hidden in the ocean, until life taught them that the real treasure was with them all along, their love for each other.
The father and the sons, who used to have a great relationship, gradually change as they grow up and have serious differences about the definition of "treasure". What is the so-called "treasure" of the father? Will the sea that once linked these two brothers' feelings be able to make the East meets the North again?


More About the Movie
Director Yuan Hsu-Hu has been concerned about marine ecology for many years and made his directorial debut with the movie "Mermaid Whispering" won the Golden Bell Award for Best Cinematography. He decided to plan a film that could heal society through the vastness of the sea. Although he had been the director of underwater photography for many films, he still encountered many difficulties when shooting "Blood of the Blue". Yuan Xuhu said: "Even if the weather is sunny when we go out to sea, the tide, the current, the wind direction, the speed and the clarity and transparency of the water will directly affect the result of the shooting.''
Yuan wants to present the scenery that does not appear on the map, which is also the closest to his dream in his heart. He also hopes to retrieve the priceless treasures left to mankind by the sea through the film "Blood of the Blue" and let the audience see the most beautiful Taiwan.
