A boy finds a very old underwater camera washed up with a wave. He opens it and finds a film roll in it. This film contained a set of stunning ocean and undersea photos with a lot of details. Then the author captures the "picture inside a picture inside a picture" moment in the story without any actual words, which is absolutely amazing! The boy even uses a microscope to reveal pictures of kids of yesteryears. The boy finally takes his photo in the camera and throws it back to the waves, which is then carried by an ocean animal into the ocean depths to be returned as flotsam for the next curious kid to find!
