「我希望我是魚」五歲孫子的童言童語，讓七十五歲的退休歷史教師開始了一段探索海洋污染問題的旅程。
溫室效應造成海平面上升，表面上只有陸地遭殃，但其實海底生物亦遭衝擊；溫室氣體造成海水酸化，進而改變整個海洋生態。
祖孫倆真摯的互動、深藍的海底風景、深入淺出的敘事……有別於一般警世性的環保紀錄片，這部影片溫暖而富情感。
A Sea Change follows the journey of retired history teacher Sven HUSEBY on his quest to discover what is happening to the world’s oceans. After reading Elizabeth KOLBERT’s article “The Darkening Sea” in The New Yorker, Sven becomes obsessed with the rising acidity of the oceans and what this “sea change” bodes for mankind. His quest takes him to Alaska, California, Washington, and Norway as he uncovers a worldwide crisis that most people are unaware of. Excess carbon dioxide is dissolving in our oceans, changing seawater chemistry. The increasing acidity of the water makes it difficult for tiny creatures at the bottom of the food web. The effects could work their way up to the fish one billion people depend upon for their source of protein.
A Sea Change is also a touching portrait of Sven’s relationship with his grandchild Elias. As Sven keeps a correspondence with the little boy, he mulls over the world that he is leaving for future generations. A disturbing and essential companion piece to An Inconvenient Truth, A Sea Change brings home the indisputable fact that our lifestyle is changing the earth, despite our rhetoric or wishful thinking.
