Synopsis:

The narrative unfolds through Jim’s journey, spurred by a fragmented tale overheard in a coastal tavern. The story centers around a legendary figure known only as Silver, a sailor who vanished from a vessel near Maratoran. Intrigued by the incomplete account, Jim embarks on a years-long quest to uncover the truth behind Silver's disappearance. His travels lead him to the remote island, where he encounters Silver’s surviving family – his wife and son – piecing together a portrait of a life left behind. The anime explores themes of memory, loss, and the enduring impact of choices made at sea, presented within a contemplative atmosphere of quiet discovery and understated human connection.
