action
A father and his daughter ride a bike across a Dutch landscape. They stop at one point. The father goes to the sea and gets into a boat, saying goodbye to his daughter. The child then comes back regularly to wait for his father. Days, months and years go by without the father coming back. The daughter marries, has children and grows old.
After years of waiting and hoping for her father's return, the now old daughter goes down to the sea, which has now dried up and overgrown with plants. The daughter walks on in the grass and discovers her father's boat washed over with sand. She lies down in the boat and looks at the sky. Suddenly she sees her father on the parched landscape. She runs up to him and gets younger and younger. They hug each other.
