Beyond The Prisme
Inexperienced fisher Hanada is hired by a fisherman Yoshiya. One day while Hanada is minding a broken surfboard on the boat, Yoshiya suddenly starts the engine because he thinks he sees a shark nearby. Skeptical, Hanada questions whether there really was a shark but Yoshiya responds vaguely. A few days later, a fisherwoman, Kaoru, invites them to go whale watching. Yoshiya sees the shark again, and along with a confused Hanada and Kaoru, Yoshiya follows the shark's shadow.
