A loose retelling of Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Businessman and the Fisherman’, the short film locates the story alongside a beach where a very busy professional has ended up on a whim. His path crosses with that of a fisherman who is unwavering even when offered a relatively large sum of money in exchange for his catch for the day.
As the conversation develops between the two characters, the narrative presents to the viewer the reminder to slow down, catch their breath and take a moment for the things that truly matter. The entirety of this communication takes place simply by way of a single, gradual exchange between the men that leaves the protagonist with a better understanding of life as well as of himself.
