Through the poetry of visual theatre beauty and difficulty of aging are being put in scene. An old fisherman travels together with his young friend, it could be his last journey. He meets the sea and heavenly messengers, shoals and an unexpected giant catch. Interviews of aged people complete the story as if they were the fisherman’s thoughts. Fiction meets documental evidences. The final installation invites the audience to remain listening to interviews, watch pictures and have a cup of coffee.
