Notes
Kei ngā hihi pūkākā o te rā, kei tētahi kāinga pakupaku i te takutai o Hawāna tētahi koroua hī ika e noho ana, ko Hanatīako tōna ingoa. Kua waru tekau mā whā rā te roa kāore i mau i a ia he ika. E mea ana te iwi o reira he kirihaunga. I runga i tōna manawa kai roke, ka haere takitahi atu a Hanatīako i runga i tōna poti iti ka hī ika ai ki tua atu o ngā taunga ika i haere ai ia i mua. I roto i te roa o ngā rā, ka whakamātautauria rawatia tōna manawa ū me tōna mārohirohi.
In the baking sun, in a small village off the coast of Havana, lives an old fisherman named Santiago. It has been eighty-four days since he last caught a fish. The locals call it bad luck. Refusing to accept defeat, Santiago sets off in his tiny skiff alone, fishing further out than ever before. Over a number of days his will and his character are tested beyond imagination.
