A sixty and something year old captain has been raising for
ten years a girl since she was six in his old fishing vessel that is
permanently anchored offshore with the intention of marrying her on her
seventeenth birthday. He survives bringing fishermen to fish in the vessel and
predicting the future using his bow and shooting arrows in a Buddhist painting
on the hull of the vessel while the girl moves back and forth in a swing. He also
uses the bow and arrows to protect the girl against sexual assault of the
fishermen. They live happily until the day that a teenage student comes to the
ship and the girl feels attracted to him. When the teenager discovers that the
girl was abducted when she was six and does not know the world, he returns to
the vessel to bring the girl back to her parents.
