| Description: | "Beneath the gently flowing water, other forms of life owe their being to the river." Underwater shots of fish. "Onward it flows - like Life there is no turning back - to where the fishers are preparing their nets. The sea is near." Fishermen prepare their nets and row out onto the river. "Where the little town nestles on the hills that fringe the coast, the river nears the end of its journey, bearing its tribute of salt for its Mother, the sea." The river reaches the sea. "Past the harbour and the fishing boats making ready for the harvest of the sea." Harbor with fishing boats. "It returns from whence it sprang, gently going out - like Life - to meet Eternity." One boat with single fisherman going out to sea. | |
