The “Captain”, a fisherman with a colourful history but with a shy disposition lives alone in a prefab hut in a remote area of the Marano lagoon. He has chosen to live in this isolation for many years now. His only contacts with the community are a young boy, Manuel, generally considered to be a bit touched because of his frequent visits to the Captain, and a somewhat eccentric Carabiniere, Giona, who for some reason has grown fond of the old sailor. The captain's mysterious discovery of a little girl (Velma) tangled in a net on the beach and the subsequent difficult relationship that develops between the two are destined to completely change the fisherman's life, leading him to a significant and cathartic transformation.

Brief synopsis:
di Maddalena De Panfilis (Ita, 2009, 90') mar 8 h 20,15
The story unfolds in twenty four hours, during which time the characters' paths cross and are resultantly altered. The prevalent stories concern Anna and Olga, two thirty year olds. Anna has a personal, internal problem to resolve: allowing herself to grieve for her deceased boyfriend. Olga instead is pressed by unavoidable external issues. Both have brought their situations to extreme stages: either change or go under. The points of view of the characters sometimes changes the tone of the film which, although dealing with the uncertainties and upheavals affecting the characters, opts to highlight the surprising side of life.
