South-western
coast of India. Kerala. Hidden under a canopy of coconut
palms, a village of fishermen uses the nearby beach as
an immense open air square where the villagers gather,
play, and work on their nets.
The old fishing boats line up on the beach like an army
of dinosaurs from a lost era that was bravely facing its
enemy. Everyday during the monsoon period the fishermen
have to challenge the barrier of breakers to reach the
shallow waters of the open sea. Their fragile boats and
catamarans are turned over, and pulled back to the shore.
The men fall in the turbulent waters.
If the fishermen don’t pass the, their lives and
that of their families becomes uncertain.
What’s at stake, it’s a tough fight for survival.
Men against nature, a village forgotten by God against
misery and famine. I's also the fight of a Christian place
surrounded by Muslim and Hindu villages, sharing the same
difficulties. |
