Logline 故事摘要
Finding joy in sorting trash and finding healing in the impossible work until the day when cleaning the sea is no longer needed.
在髒亂的廢物中撿拾樂趣,從勞苦的體驗裡療癒自己,直到,不用淨灘那天。

Synopsis 故事大綱
CraSEAy CleanUppers is a group of strangers that came together for a singular goal, to rid the sea of marine debris. Every week, come rain or shine, they discover hidden coves and shores covered with polystyrene and plastic, and they clear each piece out by hand. They sort through hidden treasures and document every item they find. In the process of cleaning the sea, they themselves learn and heal under the tutelage of nature.

《淨灘瘋人院》是一群因為海洋垃圾而聚集的人。他們幾乎每個週四,自發到香港各處海岸淨灘,不分季節陰晴,搜索海廢黑點,探尋可行路線。在有限時間裡徒手清理,逐一點算和記錄,試圖還海洋一點乾淨。在過程中被大自然教育、療癒、磨練。

Director’s Statement 導演闡述
At first I was only curious, I followed their expeditions time and time again and observed how they would document and account for each item found. I realise that the debris is an inseparable part of our daily lives. 
Cleaning up the shores with them is like a practice, a way to recover our relationship with nature, and a way to restore our relationship with each other. The trash carries traces of our existence and evidence of what we choose to leave behind on earth. 
I see the relationship between myself and this debris. Through this film, I hope that everyone else will also see our position and our obligation to the environment.

當初只是好奇,想了解他們做甚麼,跟隨他們一次又一次的探索、記錄、統計,發覺在岸邊出現的廢棄物其實與我們的生活密不可分。
與他們一起淨灘,更像是修煉,是修補與大自然的關係,是修補與他人及自己的關係。這些廢棄物是我們存在的痕跡,亦是我們留給地球的爛攤子。
我看見了自己與垃圾之間的關係,我看見了自己責任,我想以這部電影給大家看見「淨灘是一小撮人負了眾人的責任;減廢是一個人終於看到自己的責任。」
