Peepolykus: Squid

Norvik, a young Scandinavian landlubber, arrives by helicopter to take up his post as assistant to Eddie, the lighthouse keeper. Initially, the eccentric old sea-dog seems intent on making life hell for the naive newcomer. But over time, what with the magic of the sea and the slow rhythm of their daily routine, the unlikely pair establish a strong bond. When disaster strikes, their mutual respect increases and it is Norvik’s turn to take the lead.
