Pahoétama es nieta del pescador de la aldea. Para heredarle su sabiduría sobre el mar, su abuelo consigue un permiso especial, pues la pesca es un oficio prohibido para las mujeres. Ahora ella es la “niña-niño”, la única capaz de lanzarse a las aguas en busca de peces y perlas brillantes. Sin embargo, cuando Pahoétama descubre que el tiburón Oana, dios de los mares, tiene cuentas pendientes con su familia, debe tomar una decisión muy peligrosa: viajar al Vientre del Mundo, un lugar mítico que le revelará algunos secretos de su pasado.

However, when Pahoétama discovers that the shark Oana, god of the seas, has pending accounts with his family, he must make a very dangerous decision: travel to the Womb of the World, a mythical place that will reveal some secrets from his past.
