Three generations on the same fishing boat, navigating through work, play, and expectations for the future.
Chioggia, Southern part of the Venice Lagoon, 5am.
Like every day Andrea is on a boat with his grandfather Michele and his father Cristian to fish sea urchins, a delicacy they sell at the wholesale fish market.
This is how Andrea who is 14, decided to spend his summer holidays this year, to learn a trade that his family has been practicing for decades.
Andrea is at a crossroad that will strongly influence his future. Will he continue with the family trade, a hard but rewarding job, or will he choose a different path?
Facing his first experiences in the lagoon, Andrea discovers one of his possible futures.
