Giuseppe (Raoul Bova), a Sicilian fisherman, and
Yousef (Giovanni Martorana), an exiled Tunisian, share a friendship, a fishing
business and “Medea,” the vessel on which they ply their trade. Then,
while they are at sea, the fears of the post-9/11 world shatter their idyllic
relationship. Giuseppe hears a radio broadcast about a wanted
terrorist with Yousef’s name. The Italian locks his friend in the hold. But
when Yousef escapes, the former friends’ boat becomes their battleground.
