Plot

Gianfranco Rosi writes and directs this documentary about one of the most famous islands of Italy. Located about 200 kilometers off the coast of southern Italy, Lampedusa has become filling news headlines around the world in recent years. The reason? It has become the first port where thousands of immigrants from Africa and the Middle East come to try to form a new life in Europe with the hope of improving their quality of life. Rosi brings a nearby story, since spent several months living on the Mediterranean island, recording the history, culture and everyday reality of a total of approximately 6,000 people who are currently part of the local population. The documentary focuses on a 12 -year-old Samuel, who loves to hunt in the deepest area and spend time thinking he comes from a culture steeped sea.
