Watch out for the jellyfish.

Where is the sea sparkle?

We'll see it soon,
I can feel it.

I want to see it,
you promised.

Then we'll go look for it.

- But I want to see it.
- Yes, Lena. Patience.

We have to wait until it's dark.
Then we'll see blue stars.

It's going to happen tonight.
I feel it.

Tonight we'll see it.
It's now or never.

I'm afraid of the monsters.

Monsters? Why?

When I'm here, the monsters
don't dare to come.

Go away, monsters. Shoo!

Go away, monsters.
Yell at them.

- Go away, monsters. Go away.
- Go away.

- Go away.
- Go away, monsters, leave.

- Go away.
- Leave.

They're gone.

- Are you tired?
- Yes.

- Do you want to go to bed?
- Yes.

Then let's go to sleep.

The sea sparkle is
for another time.

SEA SPARKLE

- She's going to sit against that buoy.
- No way.

I've said it a thousand times.

- Silver.
- Thanks, coach.

And the gold goes to Lena Blomme.

Your races are quite boring.

- Isabel, take a photo of the three.
- Ah, yes.

- You too, Ivo.
- Kaz, big smile.

- Come on, Marre.
- You too.

- Yeah, Marre. Come on.
- Join us.

- One, two, three...
- Chest out.

- Nice.
- Well done.

That was so good.
We're a top team.

- Gotcha.
- Damn it.

What kind of creature is that, damn it.

- Hey. What are you doing?
- What are you doing?

Oops. What is that?

We need to take care of that.

Otherwise, you'll get sandpaper skin,
just like your dad.

Dad, stop.

- No, wait... Stop, dad.
- Are you scared?

- Dad!
- Scaredy-cat.

- Scaredy-cat.
- No, dad.

I got it first.

You'll get this back from earlier.
Three, two, one...

Did you hear that? I hit it.

Thanks for your skateboard.

Lena!

Give it back.

Yes, almost. Come on, Lena.

Kick your foot hard backward.

- Come on.
- Almost.

Come on, Lena. Use your feet.

So crazy. Especially that video.

- Here you go. And, how was it?
- Awesome.

- Are you joining?
- Yes.

Even with those low cards, we win.
Watch closely.

Bye, sweetie.

- Marre, fatty, hey buddy.
- Add another manilla.

- What are you doing?
- What?

- I have my tactics. You'll see.
- Tactics of my feet.

- You have to count.
- I count too, you'll see.

No fighting.

- At Fluppe's, we don't fight, okay?
- It's good.

Give me the same again, Fluppe.

- Count trumps, Gert.
- The captain has them all.

- Toine always has all the trumps.
- No way. I keep my head in the game.

I think ahead. You have to count.

Here, let me count these.
One, two, three, four.

What did I hear? Did you win again?

You're getting better than your dad.

Thanks to that coach,
he makes them too good.

I was scared after that last turn.

I thought: Oh, Lena... so sharp,
so close to the buoy.

That's a Blomme.
A Blomme never gives up.

As we always say:
Blomme is Bomme.

Blomme is Bomme.

I lost count.
You do it, Lena. Go ahead.

- I have a few more.
- Hupla.

On your box, dude.

Sweetie, come. We're leaving.

- See you tomorrow.
- Captain, I'll put them to bed.

That's a real Blomme.
Good night, sprout.

Lena, are you coming?

We have gathered here today
to say goodbye...

to Gertje, Antoine, and Samir.

The crew of the Zegevier.

Three fishermen, three mates...

who went to sea every week.

And the last time...

they didn't come back.

It's a loss
that we can't comprehend,

an accident that
we don't understand.

It's something...

we don't know how to deal with.

All three were children of the coast.

Toine and Samir chased seagulls
when they were little.

And I...

We played hide and seek
among the shrimp baskets.

The sea was their first love.

The North Sea was their life.

Bye, mates.

Kazima.

Why did Toine set sail?
With such bad weather.

The Zegevier was
the only boat at sea.

Isabel, it was an accident.

Yes, yes. Everyone acts
as if it's nobody's fault.

But I know whose fault it is.

Isabel, please.
We've all lost someone...

Are you okay?

- Careful.
- Did you see that?

- See what?
- In the water. There was a shadow.

That must have been a cloud.

Come, let's go to mom.
She needs us.

Check this out. I saw this
from the boat. It was gigantic.

What is that?

Didn't you feel that shock?

That was just a wave?

Something hit the boat.

I'll get another sandwich.
Do you want one?

Yeah, sorry, but everyone is thinking it.
And I'm the one saying it...

It was just...

Open every day from 10 a.m.
There's more in the sea than you think.

Discover the secret life
in the Sea Creatures Museum.

Do you know the purple attekama, the
snailfish, or the long-legged woodlouse? No?

Discover them in the Sea Creatures Museum.
Now open every day...

Hey, octopus boy.
Go make noise somewhere else.

Come on, get lost.

Come on. Lena?

What were you thinking?
Not good, huh.

They're all in shock.

Especially Lena. That child.
She doesn't want to show it, but yeah...

I find it beautiful too,
all made of glass.

And do you know
when you'll reopen?

Ostend misses your
shrimp croquettes.

Thanks, madam.

Hey...

I knew I would find you here.

What do you think?

I have a performance in an hour.
Are you coming?

Do you remember, in the past?

We always stood here in the dark,
waving to the lights.

We thought Dad could see us
from his boat.

We thought he would wave back.

At first my mom wouldn't let me come.

Here, the Sea Creatures Museum.
Open every day from ten to six.

Here you go, octopus boy.

Here. The one with the crappy dad.

I hadn't done anything,
and he sent me away.

You know, you're eating
a Buccinum undatum, right?

A what?

It's been in the North Sea for a crazy
long time. More than five million years.

Do you know what a whelk feeds on?

With corpses.

It's an endangered species.

You're an endangered species yourself.

- Who says that?
- Someone from the inland.

'A whelk.'

Who says that? They're 'whelks.'

A whelk. Whelks.

- A whelk.
- Look, that one eats oliebollen.

Do you know how many my dad
ate last year?

19.

At first, it was 17 or 18, but
last year, he broke his record.

I almost forgot.

- I have to go home, write it down.
- Jules still has to perform.

I'll see you at practice tomorrow.

Hey, Kaz...

Oostende, are you still hanging in there?

I didn't hear you very well.

Are you still hanging in there?

That's better. The next band
is a local band.

From around here, from Oostende.
Make some noise for Jules.

Thanks. Okay...

- Dad, this one's for you.
- Come on, Jules.

Dad, you're forever in my mind

you lived with us,
but you existed in the brine

you were the wind
in the sail of our ship

your gaze was always fixed
on the horizon

Dad, you were a man of the sea

but you always looked
over our shoulders

you were the man
who braved the storm

we've been waiting a long time,
when will you return?

Dad always sailed to the east

that's where the fish is,
those were your words

the sea was wild,
but you loosened the cords

another fisherman lost in the sea

Dad, know that we miss you, that we...

that we...

That was really good.

- No, it was really bad.
- No...

It's okay.

Sorry I messed it up.

It's okay.

I don't know why I froze.

I just wasn't ready for it.

Next time will be better.

Crap.

Hey, octopus boy.

Come on, I'm serious.

Do you know anything
about sea creatures?

- Big creatures?
- Yes, I'm doing my internship here.

Could it be that there's still a fish species
in the North Sea that hasn't been discovered?

One that hasn't been identified yet?
Like a dinosaur shark or something?

- In theory, yes.
- How?

Due to global warming,
marine animals are migrating.

We call this the great fish migration.

So, they don't know which animals
will be in the North Sea in a few years.

Here. I think such a large...

unknown creature has emerged
from a ship or a jetty.

- You get it?
- Vinnie, buddy.

Are you almost done?
We're opening soon.

Hello, miss.

I'm working on it, grandma.

You've missed a whole section there.
You've skipped it.

- I'm staying with my grandma.
- Oh my.

My parents are marine biologists.

They're repairing the Barrier Reef
in Australia.

Good luck with your internship.

Vinnie?

Check that out.

It's strange that a boat sank here.

Well, a stupid tourist boat.

Come on, Lena.

Here. Washed up from the jetty.

This is crazy.

I want to show you something too.

Look, a book
full of memories of my dad.

I started it last night.

I worked on it almost all night.

Hey. That was really dangerous, huh?

You're just like your dad.

That accident was his fault.

- Watch out.
- Hit him.

Stop it. Stop it.
Hey, what's going on here?

Have you all lost your minds?

No fighting here.

- It wasn't dad's fault.
- My dad says it was.

Calm down, calm down.

No one knows what happened.

Now, you all shut up.

- Your dad is a fat loser.
- Lena...

Hey...

Hello?

What's up, octopus boy?
Where's your mop?

- You know what, I'll go alone.
- Go where?

To that beam on the beach.

Wait.

So, you think a large, unknown creature
knocked this off the jetty too.

Yes...

I really saw that shadow.

And felt it.

It was enormous.

It was almost an accident.

On the news, they talked about
a boat accident.

Zegevier or something.

- Three fishermen dead. They don't know how.
- It was that thing.

That creature.

I'm sure of it.

- I feel something.
- What?

- Check this out.
- What is it?

It's bigger than any shark.

It must be from a gigantic creature.

Maybe a sperm whale.

- Or something we don't know.
- Yeah. I was right.

I really saw it.

That's mega scary. You're laughing,
but this is freaking out.

Freaking out? Thanks, buddy.

- Don't we have to go to the market?
- Later.

What are you doing now?

- What is that?
- A tooth.

It was in a beam from the jetty.

Put that away. And what's this?
Did you tear your jacket?

Mom, you don't understand.

That tooth is from a fish, a huge fish.
A dinosaur shark, really something gigantic.

I think that's why the Zegevier sank.

A monster ate dad?

Of course not, honey.
Lena just has too much imagination.

- No. I'm super serious.
- Please.

They still don't know
why the Zegevier crashed or how.

- They don't understand.
- Lena, please.

It was really enormous.

I saw it myself, mom.

Its shadow, I saw that shadow...

Lena, such large fish aren't here.

And certainly no monsters.

It was an accident. Bad weather,
maybe a wrong maneuver...

- Dad never made mistakes.
- Please, stop.

So, you also believe
it was dad's fault?

Like Kaz's mom says, and Ivo.

No, of course not.

It was a monster.

- Don't we have to go to the market?
- Later.

Hey, Lena. Why did you call me?

- Who is this?
- Vincent. He's from inland.

See that mast? I'm sure
we'll find one there too.

Find what?

A tooth.

Lena...

Lena, come back.

Was that the monster
from the Zegevier?

What, the Zegevier?

I thought you were going to die too,
like Dad.

Stupid damn jellyfish.

I... I'm already too late.

What's wrong? Did you see a ghost?

I told you:
The weather report isn't good.

He said: If not many boats go out,

we'll find more fish.

- There was no ban, right?
- No, but there was a warning.

And he literally said to me:

'Girl, don't worry.
It's my sea. I know it.'

A true captain. Always wanting to be
at sea and knowing no danger.

Damn.

Just like Lena. Really...

I can't imagine she'd
want to go to maritime school too.

Jules doesn't.

He doesn't want to be at sea.
Look, that T-shirt...

From a concert we saw
when I was pregnant with Jules.

- He has a sweetheart, huh. Yes, Jules.
- Come on.

- Beautiful girl.
- Yeah?

Maybe a bit too beautiful. I mean...

Yes. I hope she's not with him
out of pity...

- Out of pity, you think?
- Well, yeah...

I also pity myself.

Look at me.
Alone with three children.

And all those debts to the bank.

What will the insurance do
if it was Toine's fault?

The insurance will understand that.

And the people?

I feel like
everyone is angry at me.

Lena?

Hey, Lena.

I made my mom's specialty:
Magistra alle Vongole. Very tasty.

There you go. Take a smell.

This is four-star dining.

Jules said there are no monsters
in the North Sea.

Certainly no dinosaur sharks.

Jules also said you have to be an idiot
to think something like that.

Enjoy your meal.

- Dobartek.
- How do you say that?

Why are you sitting there?

- She can sit wherever she wants.
- That's Dad's seat.

Have you forgotten already?

- Lena, sorry. I...
- It's okay.

Lena, it will be okay, right?

- Just be normal.
- It's okay, Jules.

- No, it's Dad's seat.
- And Dad wouldn't want Nora to sit there?

You know nothing about Dad.

And Nora is only with you out of pity.
Choke on your stupid vongole.

- Really...
- It's okay.

Everything sucks.

Remember
that giant shadow at sea?

This is from that creature.

I think it rammed the Zegevier.

I really thought
it was going to be a nice summer.

And look now,
it's the crappiest summer ever.

And my mom, she's so angry
at everything and everyone.

So angry she smashed our dishes.

Our plates, glasses... everything broken.

You know what we eat on now?

Plastic camping plates.

I'm angry too.
At that sea monster.

- As if we'll ever go camping again.
- Kaz...

That tooth, that's proof.

Seriously, Lena. Is that tooth going
to bring back our dad?

I didn't think so either.

Look.

Come take a look.

- Look.
- Wow.

Look. The small fish attract the big ones.

You know who taught me that?

Your dad.

Toine always caught the biggest fish.

He was always the best,
at everything.

Don't you miss it?

- What?
- Fishing.

I find teasing kids much more fun.

Come on, teenagers.

- We got one.
- Hold it, hold it.

Come on, pick it up, pick it up.

Yes, good, Lena. Good.

Watch out, bring it here.
Look at what a beast.

A real Blomme.
Blomme is Bomme.

Look, Lena. We're all in shock.

Me too, you know.

What I want to say...

Did Mom ask you to take me with you?

No...

She called me.

Your mom is really struggling right now.

She's with you.

Listen, Lena...

You just lost your dad.
You're in a lot of pain.

That's normal.

Maybe you're seeing things
that aren't there.

- So am I going crazy?
- No, I'm not saying that.

You're the least crazy of all.

- But you do have a lot of imagination.
- Really...

Yesterday, I found this on the beach.

I am a sailing coach. I can barely
count the number of teeth in my own mouth.

32.

Okay, thanks.

Lena?

- How was it at Marre's?
- Great.

There's some pasta left if you want.

Vinnie, I have new evidence.

I'm working.

Vinnie...

Remember that jellyfish we saw?

That was a pearl jellyfish.

- That can't be. They live somewhere...
- Near the equator. Exactly.

I was thinking about
what you said about the fish.

- The big fish migration.
- Yes. Just like that shadow.

A new species.

Cool.

Scientists use DNA to determine
if animal species already exist or not.

- Blue stars.
- What?

Bioluminescence.
Very rare, Vinnie.

Sailors used to hear these at sea
and thought they were monsters.

They were whales
calling to each other.

Cool.

We've been to the moon.

We've sent a rover to Mars
and named thousands of stars.

But stars are not
the biggest mystery.

The biggest mystery is the sea.

Only 10% of sea life
has been discovered.

You heard that right:
90% is still unknown.

Look, the Mariana Trench.

Eleven kilometers below the sea surface
it's pitch dark and silent.

The pressure there
is a thousand times greater than here.

A few years ago, we thought
nothing could live there.

And yet, there's life:

Unknown species of fish,
crustaceans, isopods.

The sea is full of secrets.

From microscopic to...

Yes, to how big exactly?

There's more in the sea
than you think.

Thank you.

That was boring.

Come on.

I'll show him that tooth.

I'll send a photo of that tooth
to my parents.

What's wrong with you?
I'll just ask him.

That man really doesn't have
time for us.

- Do you know what this is?
- No.

A tooth from a megalodon,
a super-sized fish.

- Do you want it?
- Yes.

- Are you here with someone?
- Yes, Grandpa...

- Lena, I...
- Big liar.

I didn't know about your dad
and the Zegevier.

You put that tooth
in that wooden thing, why?

Yes, I did.

You looked so excited
when you saw that tooth.

At first, you looked super depressed
and suddenly super happy.

I was afraid to say
that it was fake.

I thought, if I say it, then...

Then what, Vinnie?

I just wanted to impress you.

- I think you're really mega nice.
- Mega nice?

I don't find you mega nice.

You have to be an idiot
to find you nice.

Lena, wait. I believe you, really.
You saw that monster, that shadow.

You're fake, Vinnie.

Super mega giga fake.

Lena... Lena?

Damn.

Look.

I used five tubes of glue for this.

Do you remember when we went to sea?
You, me, and our dads.

No.

Come on, yes.

My dad caught two
such large crabs.

And he shouted:
We'll make soup from them.

You really don't remember?

- What's that?
- Nothing.

- Lena, come on...
- I said nothing.

Don't act like that. Just show what's there.
You know what, here. This is from a jellyfish.

From the equator.
Just like that monster.

- Come on, stop.
- What?

Why can't it be a normal jellyfish?
A normal Oostend jellyfish from here.

It's not an Oostend jellyfish, but a
pearl jellyfish that swam across the ocean.

- From the equator to the Gulf of Mexico...
- Lena, stop.

You and your monster, and your shadow
and pearl jellyfish, it doesn't help me.

It's difficult for all of us
and you're not making it better, Lena.

Maybe it's just true.

Maybe your dad made a mistake.

It could happen.
Everyone makes mistakes.

Maybe they hit something.

Shut up, Kaz. Shut up.

It's high time
that you start acting normal.

Okay...

The training is canceled.

The specialist said:
Pearl jellyfish, very dangerous.

- Okay?
- Coach, there are only two of them.

Two are too many.

Sorry about that tooth.

I shouldn't have done that.

There's something else.

My parents, they're not in Australia.

They're in Antwerp.

Mom is a receptionist in a hotel,
dad repairs broken washing machines.

Why...

Six months ago, they...
split up, and now they're getting divorced.

Really...

- You didn't dare say that, right?
- Yes, I really want to say it right away:

'Yo Lena, I'm Vinnie Boy, and my dad
dumped me at my grandma's,

because he thinks I'm in the way.'

Wait. Your dad's boat...

Can we still see it somewhere?

That must be Berit.

Kaz, tomorrow we're going
to the Zegevier.

Why?

If it was a monster,
we'll find evidence there.

DNA evidence. You get it?

Kaz, there's cake.

- What?
- Lena, sorry.

Sorry, but you always make
everything so much worse.

Hello, Lena.

I think it's better that you two
don't see each other for a while.

Kazima needs time
to process everything.

Kaz?

Lena...

How are you actually?

Can you talk to your mom about it?

- Hey, Lena.
- Hey.

Lena, you can help.
It's not forbidden.

I have sailing training.

Is it still on with those jellyfish?

We're in a boat, right?

I fixed your life jacket,
did you see it?

It looks good on you.

Yo, Vinnie.

Look what I stole from the museum.

DNA test tubes.

Cool.

Is that it?

Okay, come.

Now.

Hey, Lena. Check this out.

- And?
- Loads of tracks.

Hey, sprat.

- How are you?
- I forgot.

My first time at sea.

Dad said:

'Past the breakwater,
then eastward.

That's where the grounds are.

That's where the fish are.'

Captain Lena is ready
to set sail, dad said.

'Pull in the gangway,

loose the ropes

and start the engine.

We're setting sail.'

We're setting sail.

Shit!

Come.

- Hey.
- Hey. Stop.

Come back.

- Jump, Vinnie.
- Okay.

Do you still have the test tubes?

Vinnie?

- I have one.
- Okay, one is good. Come.

That was really close.
We could have been killed.

Hey, Vinnie?

Actually, you're kinda mega nice.

There you are. Well?

I searched all of Oostende for you.

Where were you?

And don't say in the Spuikom.
There was no training.

Marre is really worried.

What did you do all day?

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

Then why don't you answer
your phone?

Just because.

- Where were you?
- Leave me alone.

- Your clothes are dirty.
- Mom!

- What did you do all day?
- Nothing.

Lena, stop lying.

- You're lying yourself.
- What?

Yes, all the time.

You tell me that the accident
wasn't dad's fault.

But to everyone else,
you say it is.

And what are you doing now?
Throwing him away? Forgetting him?

- Of course not.
- I haven't forgotten dad.

- Sweetheart, me neither.
- It's not his fault.

Lena, there's a chance it is.

No, there's no chance.

Maybe yes, maybe no.
We'll never know.

I know. It wasn't an accident.
I have proof.

What is that?

- DNA.
- Lena...

Found on the wreck.

- Were you on that wreck?
- Of course.

Tomorrow we're getting
that tested.

Then you'll see. It's a monster.

- That's enough. It's enough now.
- Are you crazy?

Enough now with this nonsense.

- You don't understand anything!
- Enough!

- Stupid bitch!
- Lena, it's enough!

- Lena, how are you?
- Fuck off, Jules.

Where are you?

Where are you?

I know you're there. I know it.

- Marre, look. Look there in the waves.
- Where?

- Those blue spots.
- I don't see anything.

Of course, look there.
Here, hold on.

- Keep filming.
- Toine, what are you doing, buddy?

Lena, sprat. This is for you.

The sea sparkle. Look closely.

- And is it blue?
- Toine is blue, yes.

And, has the DNA been tested?

Mom threw it away.

The bitch she is.

But you still have that tooth.

That one was fake.

I have something else for your book.

We were on the dike with our dads.

Your dad had just bought hot dogs.

He walked towards us, raised his hand,
and then suddenly... poof.

A seagull flew away with
his hot dog.

- He was so angry.
- Unbelievable.

- Swearing he did.
- And loudly. 'Damn bird.'

'Give my hot dog back.'
And we just laughed.

I almost peed my pants
from laughing.

- 'Give my hot dog back.'
- 'Damn bird.'

That was a really fun day.

Actually...

Our dads must have
had arguments too.

Yeah, I think so too.

So, Lena... That monster.
Is it there now, or is it not?

I really saw it.
I really saw its shadow.

We know exactly where you saw it.

The coordinates are
on the memorial stone.

We can go back to sea to that exact
place and see if there's anything there.

That's a very good idea.

We're going tonight.

What, now? Tonight, Lena?

It's now or never, Kaz.

Damn...

Are you sure, Lena?
Is that sharp enough?

Sharp enough.

Hey. Where were you?

I've been waiting for you
all day at the museum.

I sent you 35,000 messages.

- Who is that?
- Vincent.

Yeah... Octopusboy.

- Are you Octopusboy?
- Lena...

My mom threw away the DNA.

You could have let me know.
It's five words, Lena, five.

Sorry. Really.

Kaz and I have a plan.
I know how to lure that monster.

With this?

Marre doesn't mind if we borrow it.

Vinnie...

Lena, what we're going to do
is super dangerous.

Kaz, I have to go now.

I have to know now.

Okay, I'll come on one condition.

If we go there and there's nothing...

then it's over with the monster forever.

Forever, Lena.

And if it's dangerous, we come back
immediately. And you listen to me.

Deal?

Deal.

Come on.

It's not loud enough.

Lena, there's nothing here.

We have to go back now,
before we can't anymore.

Lena, come on, it's getting too dangerous.
We have to go now. Say something.

Lena, we really need to go now.

We had a deal, Lena.
Be normal.

Come on.

Lena, you were supposed to listen to me.
You promised. That was our deal.

Lena. There are no monsters here.

What are you going to do?
Lena, stop.

Lena, no.
That's way too dangerous.

Are you crazy? You'll be pulled
into the open sea like that.

Lena, come on.

What are you doing now?
Don't act tough.

Lena, are you insane?

Where are you?

Damn it. Show yourself.

Coward! Bastard!

Come then.

I know you're there.

I've seen you.

Where are you then? Damn it!

Show yourself!

Coward, bastard!

Give him back!

Give him back!

Give him back!

Give my dad back!

Lena, are you sure
you saw it?

Did it sink
our dads' ship?

I don't know, maybe.

Maybe not.

But it's there.

It will always be there.

I think so too.

Sorry I was so stupid.

It was very dangerous.
It was stupid.

Hey, Lena...

We had to make sure
if there was anything or not.

Come.

He's dead.

He's not coming back.

Little Lena.

Dad, one for you.

Dad, you're forever in my mind

you lived with us,
but you thrived in the brine

you were the wind
in the sail of our ship

your gaze was always
fixed on the horizon

Dad, you were a man of the sea

but you always looked
over our shoulders

you were the man
who braved the storm

we've been waiting long,
when will you return?

Dad, you always sailed east

that's where the fish is,
those were your words

the sea was wild,
but you untangled the cords

another fisherman lost in the sea

Dad, know that we miss you

that we keep fishing for memories

we remain here,
waving in the distance

but you will always
be blowing in my heart

Dad... there was a storm coming

but you knew the dangers

pull in the plank, start the engine

we're heading out to sea

we let you sail away

Dad...

we wave in the dark to the lights

Dad...

we let you go, gently

Dad...

we wave in the dark to the lights

Dad...

we let you go, gently

Dad...
