Who is the man who arrives at the new island?


Who is the man who arrives at the new island and diggs the old doll at the end? He looks like the old grandfather but I think he is another peasent following the life and death cycle. This question is pivotal to understand if the grandfather and the grandaughter survived the storm. Nature killed them, or not?

He is just another peasant who is about to the same as the grandfather and granddaughter did last spring taking on the same risk. The storm and the flood definitely killed the grandfather;not sure about the girl.

He looked very different from the guy who played the grandfather. He's just another peasant in the region who sees a river islet and plans on planting his crop there. There is some ambiguity about whether the doll ended up there because it got washed away with the cottage or if the girl had taken it on the boat and the boat had drowned that night. The scene in which we see them taking something apart from the corn on the boat is too brief and too dark to make out clearly if the doll was part of the cargo. We might know better once someone pauses the film and looks hard.
