What is ‘The Silent Sea’ All About

The story is about the scarcity of water on the earth and searching for hope and answers on other planets.

Captain Han Yun-Jae (Gong Yoo) and his team were put on a mission to the deserted Balhae Station on the moon to retrieve a valuable sample from an abandoned research facility and investigate the death of the first team that was sent there five years ago.

Along with them is Dr. Song Ji-an (Bae Doona), an astrobiologist whose sister died in the Balhae accident. She wants to know what happened to her sister, and find out what’s behind the message she received before her death telling her to 'Find Luna'.

Amongst the crew members, only two doctors and a child survived. Even Han, who seems so close to surviving, sacrifices himself in the final moments so that the others can escape with Luna.
