Synopsis

On a scorching summer day, a young boy visits the beach with his parents. Uncomfortable with the crashing waves, he ventures off and discovers an old, abandoned boat nestled among the dunes. Immersed in imaginative play, he becomes a brave captain navigating stormy seas. However, as the dunes loom like giant waves, he realises he's lost and alone. A vigilant lifeguard comes to his rescue, reuniting him with his relieved parents, and the day ends with a comforting ice cream treat.
