PART OF THE SHORT FILM PROGRAMME ISA I
Chioggia, southern part of the Venice lagoon, 5 o’clock in the morning. As every day, Michele, Cristian, and Andrea are out on their boat diving and fishing for sea urchins, a delicacy they plan to sell at the wholesale fish market. During the summer vacations, 14-year-old Andrea wants to learn the profession that his grandfather and father have been practicing ever since. Will he really continue the family trade, a hard but rewarding job, or will he take a different path?
AGAIN is the conversation of three generations about the future of their craft, a humorous snapshot that tells about life and the balancing act between what has passed and what is yet to come.
