For almost half a century an old man has been the warden of a bird sanctuary on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. One day he receives notice that his posting will be discontinued. His happy life alongside nature is about to come to an abrupt end. But the warden refuses to accept his dismissal. Determined not to leave, he decides to fight back in his own way.

An old man is set in his ways, living alone on a remote ocean island as bird watcher and bird sanctuary warden. When the ornithological society announces they 'retire' him, he ignores them and stays, despite dwindling supplies. A helicopter drops an emergency crate after a bad storm hits, but it knocked adrift. The sea brings him an incompetent African sailor girl, who needs his help but find shim still unwilling to leave behind his 'comfort zone', even without comforts.—KGF Vissers
