    Hope needs feeding, fear feeds itself…

    1943, a small village in rural Italy. War grows closer, hunger governs all. But mermen bring the real danger; mysterious creatures circling beneath the waves, waiting to feast.

    Enter Salvestro, a travelling pianist, who enlists the help of Lucio, an injured veteran and village drunkyard, to put on a concert for the village. But his efforts place him on a collision course with the village’s ruthless mayor who endeavours to crush this dream by whatever means necessary…
