The Seaside is an intriguing exploration of dreams and reality, set against the stunning backdrop of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to soak in the beauty of her surroundings, while the atmosphere is infused with a sense of longing and innocence. The performances feel genuine, especially from the young lead—her curiosity and determination resonate. What stands out is how the film juxtaposes the vastness of the sea against the constraints of her life.
