simply put one of the most beautiful film i have ever see . i adore the first three minute of the film and have just watch them several time now . i adore the music and will have to see if i can run down a cd of it . the plot concern an old man who live on a derelict boat in the middle of the sea . he ferry people to and from it so they can fish . live with him be a young girl who come to the boat when she be seven . the old man intend to marry the young girl when she turn 17. all be fine until one day a young man the girl age show up and begin to awaken her curiosity about the outside world . ultimately more fable than real life this be a very good film . the odd dynamic between the old man and the young girl may upset some people but it flow naturally out of the situation . it also a film that doesn not play to expectation and so much so that i really will have to sit down and watch the film again and there be a couple of thing that happen that seem odd or out of place on first view that may not be that way once you reach the end . i be not sure what i make of it all and however i do know the film still haunt me and on some level color everything i watch after that .
