El capitán Yoshi, joven kamikaze y patrón de pesca de altura recuerda, con su amigo Osanai la época dorada de Andamana, frecuentada por muchos marineros nipones. Osanai regentó uno de los garitos-burdeles de la zona portuaria. Con su memoria y la de otros personajes se cuenta una historia extraordinaria en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, donde la vida cosmopolita y el comercio dibujan un espacio de peculiar libertad.
