The story follows a young boy raised by an elderly master in a serene floating temple on a beautiful lake, where he learns the peaceful ways of the Buddha. As the seasons of his life change, the boy grows into a young man. His quiet world is disrupted when a young girl arrives at the temple seeking healing. This encounter triggers his sexual awakening, leading the youth to abandon his spiritual home and run away to the chaotic outside world.
