The Italian 'refugee island' of Lampedusa is in the firm grip of winter's tristesse. As a fire destroys the worn down ferry that connects the island to Italy, the mayor and the local fishermen struggle for a new ship. The tiny community at the edge of Europe is engaged in a desperate struggle for solidarity with those who many consider the cause of the ongoing crisis: the African boat people.
