Imagine opening your window in the morning and seeing a huge vessel sitting next to your house. It is daily routine for Ani, her neighbours since Tsunami wave brought the floating power generation boat into their neighbourhood, three kilometres from the shoreline. Villagers were divided between those who wanted to continue their lives with the boat as their new neighbour, and those who see it as a plague to be, somehow, removed. However the latest government plan to make monument of the boat changed their life. Once more, they will have to undergo changes and aftershocks after the disaster. Tourists and aid workers visit the site to take pictures of the giant wonder, while beside it, villagers stand quizzically in its shadow.
