A gentle story about love and loss told through the perspective of a grief stricken laborer. As the first snow descends on the province, she spends her day harvesting oysters along the river bank, and contemplating the nature of her grief. Waist high in the water, she pushes through the meandering currents, when she suddenly encounters a familiar creature rising from the shallows. Her muses awash, she finds herself elsewhere, succumbing to another shell.
