- Synopsis
- Every day, Tinh heads out to sea with his father to catch fish for their family and the market. Their new bamboo boat shines like gold against the turquoise waters of his village, and while he may at times miss his simple life, flying kites with other children on the beach, Tinh is proud to work alongside Ba. When a fierce storm strikes, Tinh earns the task of securing the family vessel, but he panics and runs away. It will take courage and faith to salvage the precious bamboo boat, win back Ba's confidence, and return once more to the sea. This graceful tale lyrically narrates a young Vientamese boy's literal and spiritual coming of age.
