Tolya, his brother and the captain live on a fishing ship, stranded in a port of Chimbote. The company is bankrupted, the ship hasn’t fished in eight weeks and the rest of the crew has returned to their countries. With no money and with practically no possibility of change in sight, Tolya tries to adapt to a new way of life on solid ground.

An alternate state of consciousness is induced in a bitter little girl by her maid so that she can confront and, hopefully, overcome her deepest fears.
