PLOT : Tormented by the tragic loss of his child, Salvo, a Sicilian fisherman, leaves his hometown and finds work in Calabria producing high-quality charcoal, trying to escape the weight of grief and guilt. When news of his father’s illness brings him back to his seaside village in Sicily, he plans to sell the family home and use the money to pursue shared custody of his daughter. But his plans are disrupted when he discovers Binta, an immigrant caregiver, living there with her young son, Moussa. As Salvo restores his father’s fishing boat with Moussa’s unexpected help, new bonds begin to form, forcing him to confront his past and consider whether healing may finally be possible.
