Thirteen-year-old Konstantinos travels for the first time to the sunny Calabria of Southern Italy, to get to know the homeland of his Italian grandmother. Between swims, excursions, new friends – the wild Morgana, Rocco, Maria, and the enigmatic Aki – the summer seems like a dream.
However, the Strait – the mythical passage of Scylla and Charybdis, where Cannitello, the small fishing village hosting the whole group, is located – hides ancient secrets that begin to emerge one by one…
The upcoming construction of a huge suspension bridge, aiming to connect Calabria with Sicily, divides the locals, while the arrival of a mysterious group of environmental activists from Northern Europe brings even greater turmoil.
Almost simultaneously, huge swordfish start approaching the shores at night, emitting a piercing sound and sowing panic.
Konstantinos and his friends suddenly find themselves caught in the whirlpool of an adventure, where friendship is tested, ancient myths come alive, and today’s choices seal the future.
