Scano Boa is a small village in the Po Delta area inhabited by a fishermen-only community. Here settle down a father and his daughter Clara, immediately disliked by the local community that blame them for the missed arrival of sturgeons (main source of income). Clara is raped by the village dandy but she keeps silent. Then one day sturgeons finally arrive and everybody rushes to fish the, including Clara’s father who, unexperienced and left alone, ends up drowning. His daughter delivers a baby just during his dad’s funeral.
