This is set in a village of fishermen wives can't stay with (or sleep with their husbands) because of the dangers of the lifestyle for three years. When women succumbs and sleep with their own or the husbands of others tragedy often follow...or something like that at least according to the opening narration, and the film traces just such a tragic tale. Beautiful (and I do mean it) looking film that looks more like one of the classics of Russian cinema then a film set in a Chinese fishing village. The plot, a tragic romance came through as muddled due to poor and small English subtitles. Its a good film but not the sort of thing I need to revisit. 5 out of 10
