After days of waiting, they finally encounter a school of tuna. Bojirou focuses entirely on fishing, while Shunichi accidentally gets tangled in the fishing line and nearly loses his life. After being discharged from the hospital, the couple moves back to the city, leaving Bojirou alone. One year later, Shunichi and Sayoko return to the fishing village. One night, Shunichi goes out to sea and doesn’t return, and the radio goes silent. Bojirou goes out to search for him, discovering Shunichi in a struggle with a large fish, exhausted and on the brink of death...
