They set off by ship with a few of the zoo animals. But there is a disaster at sea. Pi ends up on a small boat with a Bengal tiger. The movie tells of their struggle to survive. Ang Lee says the movie also explores deep philosophical questions. Lee filmed most of the movie in Taiwan, where he lives. The different movie sets included a very large water tank. This is the first film for 19-year-old Suraj Sharma, the human star of Life of Pi. He called the year shooting the film the hardest and most beautiful of my life. Suraj Sharma told the Hindustan Times newspaper that he was not sure if he wanted to act again. But he said he knows he wants to be a part of movie-making in some way.
