A sailor alone at sea is joined by a seagull that lands on his boat with an injured wing. He cares for the bird until it recovers, and the pair develop a close connection during their time aboard. Knowing that the bird must travel toward warmer places, the sailor steers his boat south to help it continue its migration. After they part, a feather kept among the sailor’s belongings marks their time together.
