An old fisherman sits alone in his tiny, ramshackle boat on the Black Sea. At first we observe him at work, later on the shore preparing food and passing a huge container vessel at port. Always alone in a silent world of his own. One day however he suddenly falls overboard and, in finding himself stranded, is confronted by a monstrous fish …
Employing ruminant imagery the director creates a wonderfully poetic portrayal of solitude and the daily struggle for survival.
