The Colors of Hope and Wisdom

Matt, is a preternaturally curious 8 year old who tries to capture his fears by writing in a personal book about all the things that could hurt him.

As it turns out, the clown - heartbroken and unable to forgive himself after losing love - digs his own grave, convinced that dying is the only way out of his pain and misery. Wise beyond his years, Matt decides to face his fears rather than run away, setting the scene for a life-changing conversation where each becomes a guide of sorts to the other. Both of them find the answers they seek on a journey of personal redemption. —Juan Diego Escobar Alzate

To this end, numerous ships of different sizes and categories were brought together. The remnants of these vessels have found a watery grave at the bottom of the lagoon: in depths of up to 60 metres, practically inaccessible for the average diver. Until recently, the region could not be visited for decades, due to radioactive contamination. But how have nature and mankind developed? Accompany us to a very special ships cemetery. Explore a region untouched by human hand for more than 60 years and experience the magic of the South Seas.
