0.0Apr 10, 2022 · 30 min
With a single thrust, harpoon fishers can catch a swordfish weighing more than 100kg. 21-year-old Konno Misaki is a fisher like his father before him. When Misaki's hometown was hit by the tsunami following the 2011 earthquake, his family lost their home and boat. Yet, his father overcame these hardships. Now, warmer water temperatures have reduced the number of fish and his father's health is deteriorating. The program depicts a young man's struggle to make it on his own.
