Synopsis:
________________________________________

Every year thousands of tuna fish migrate to the Mediterranean Sea. Men chase them in a ritual of blood and death: Three hundred tuna fish are trapped into a ring of nets. Terrified, the animals start jumping and beating their tails on the water surface turning that circle into a huge water curtain. Images of nature abused and overwhelmed.
