The story of the Sicilian island of Marettimo and its inhabitants, men and women who, during the early 1900s, stowed away on cargo ships heading to the United States. After arriving in Monterey Bay, California, they made the most of their knowledge of the sea and, over the years, began successful fishing activities. And from there, they set sail a second time, this time for Alaska, for the salmon fishing... The story of a grand yet unknown Italian epic, a sentimental and historical story told through images from the Archivio Luce Cinecittà and American archives.
