Synopsis
Peaceful life in a seaside town. Catching fish and birds, making fun of the local fool, savouring food and drink. But everything changes with the Italian occupation in 1941. Evil comes into town, turning neighbours against each other, and the previously inconspicuous Piero sets his mind on killing the harmless Kaya.
