A family living on a Sicilian island find their ties stretched to the limit when undocumented immigrants from Africa arrive in their community. Used to making their living from the ocean, the world is now encroaching in the form of tourism and immigration, forcing the family to make choices.
A summery Mediterranean paradise belies troubled waters in Emanuele Crialese’s portrait of island life under the wave of modernity. Anchored by a moral tug-of-war, the film casts a compassionate eye on the immigration crisis in Europe, pitting individual responsibility against governmental neglect.
