The sea girl

At the start of 1990 a massive freighter vanishes in the middle of the Pacific, leaving no trace and no obvious cause. The distress call is answered by the young chief officer of a modern Sub‑Pacific vessel, whose routine voyage is already running behind schedule. Sharing the cramped cabin with him is Arturo Plantet, an eighteen‑year‑old violinist whose delicate looks and poetic temperament seem at odds with the hard‑won confidence of a seafarer.

As the crew scrambles to understand the unexplained sinking, the quiet bond between the pragmatic officer and the dreamy musician deepens, hinting that Arturo may hold a key to the mystery. Their conversations drift between practical concerns and lyrical musings, while an unsettling sense that something beyond ordinary ocean currents is at work begins to surface. Listeners are drawn into a tense, atmospheric first act where science, superstition, and the sea itself start to collide.
