An elderly man (Jeon Sung-hwan) lives a quiet, monastic life on his fishing boat with a beautiful teenage girl (Han Yeo-reum) he has raised since taking her in as a small child. The pair plan to marry on her upcoming 17th birthday. The old man protects the girl from his leering fishing-trip customers with his treasured bow, a combination weapon and musical instrument. But one day a young man (Seo Ji-seok) appears, and for the first time, the girl imagines life away from the boat.
