A Mexican fisherman, whose son has died because he could not afford necessary medical care out of his meagre wages, becomes aware of how badly exploited he and his many fellow fisherman are by the one greedy man for whom they work and the corrupt politician who makes the laws to benefit him.

VIBE

A stark and somber portrayal of working-class struggle. The film feels heavy with the weight of exploitation and loss, building towards a powerful, righteous anger. It's a gritty, realistic look at injustice that resonates long after viewing.
