The small northern indigenous people, the Nivkhs, live on the shores of the Sea of Okhotsk. Every day, they face a harsh struggle for survival, while their lives are filled with everyday routines, customs, hunting, celebrations, death, and birth. Against this backdrop unfolds the story of a ten-year-old boy who, together with his grandfather, father, and uncle, goes on his first seal-hunting expedition. However, misfortune awaits the hunters as a fog descends over the sea, obscuring their view of the shore.
