Plot summary

The film consists of five long takes set by the ocean. As in a typical Ozu film, the camera never moves, zooms or pans. There is no dialogue, and only one shot includes people.

  • First shot: A close-up of a section of beach.
  • Second shot: A seaside boardwalk, with people walking past.
  • Third shot: The same beach, taken from above.
  • Fourth shot: A short interlude, with ducks.
  • Fifth shot: A black screen that is revealed to be water at night when the moon's reflection appears.
