Theme
editAn absentee husband and father sets in motion a chain of events whereby the steward left in charge of the family estate gradually exerts power over the mother and her son, Hanawaka.[3]
Eventually the pair are forced into the demeaning activity of bird-scaring from a boat among the ricefields.[4]
