Image-rich, very few words spoken whatsoever. A deformed man lives alone on a lighthouse and receives supplies (per his father's will) from a boat every so often. He hides so no one can see him and spends his time flipping through a dictionary and imagining (often times incorrectly due to lack of connotive context) what the words means. He has a pet fish. He leaves a note aking for pictures of the outside world and has a mini-psychotic break as he realizes that his disfigurement and locale are both forms of imprisonmnet. Symbolically, he releases his pet fish into the ocean to go explore (surely the freshwater fish dies almost immediately) before packing his bags and catching the supply ship on its next circuit.
