In Ngor, Senegal, old fisherman Bayedjip sees his pirogue empty all too often. The waters, reputed to be the world's richest in fish, have long since been plundered by industrial fishing. As he sets off alone to fish the great 6-meter blue marlin by hand in the hope of feeding his family, his young nephews, aware of the lack of horizons for Senegalese youth, gradually commit themselves to taking matters into their own hands and finding solutions to safeguard artisanal fishing and feed the village, taking the village women and other fishermen with them.
