A roof surrounded by ocean. Two men meet here after a disaster.
One speaks several European languages. The other a strange kind
of gibberish of some Oriental origin.
The ocean is the only witness to their struggles to find a common language so they can initially meet their need for survival, and later on enjoy their ‘bounty’, dream of their past and decide about their future and a new life…
