The story is about the absurdity of life. Ion is a fisherman who lives in one of the most drought-affected areas in Romania. His wife, Maria, keeps pushing him to go out on the sea, although she acknowledges just as much as her husband that they are facing a dead end. Wishing to put an end to his bad luck, Ion commits to work for a foreigner, unaware of the fact that he will become involved in illegal activities.
