Story
Giovanni Squarcho is a fisherman on the Adriatic coast of Italy, fishing for illegal fishing with explosives. For this, other residents of the village who use traditional networks do not like him. Their leader Salvatore, a childhood friend of Svarcho, decides to organize a cooperative so that he no longer depends on the owner of the refrigerator, who is making money on workers. The maverick Giovanni remains aloof from this struggle. Squarcho's activities are in jeopardy when a new coast guard chief appears who decides to end illegal fishing. However, the stubborn Skvarcho, despite the requests of his wife and children, tired of being in fear for the life of the father of the family, does not intend to give up at all ...
