The documentary "Homibando" begins with the early spring seaweed harvesting work of haenyeo (female divers), reexamining the lives of the "Pohang Haenyeo," who have long connected the sea and people, and prompting reflection on the preservation value of local marine resources.

It then introduces the geographical environment and historical significance of Homibando through Janggi Eupseong Fortress, exile culture, Malmok Fortress, and Guryongpo Port. Additionally, by detailing the various coastal erosion landforms of Homibando, known as a vast natural museum, it revisits the geomorphological value of Homibando.
