Bao was born in a family of otter fishermen who passed the tradition down from father to son. During the war, everything changed and Bao had to become a farmer. Two years ago he found Loutra, a young otter caught in a trap. Bao took her in, and resumed the family tradition again. But these days, a free otter is an otter in danger, especially if it isn’t afraid of humans. Fishermen poison otters because they destroy everything. The animals are killed for their hides and their meat. Now that his otter has grown up, Bao wants to give her back to nature and he is looking for a wile place, far from humans. But he is wondering if such a place doesn’t remain only in his memories.
