Synopsis

Synopsis

Autumn 1985.
A storm sweeps across the Mediterranean. A village is devastated, its crops ransacked and a whale washed up on the beach. Dead, it is said to carry diseases. Corbac, a sickly, misanthropic winegrower, has a tractor, a grape-harvesting skip and three kitchen knives to save the whale's skeleton from being blown up. Day and night, the largest of the creatures is paraded piece by piece in front of the church, the school and the distillery, awakening the villagers' unconsciousness and violence. They know Corbac, and he'll go all the way.
It's not going to end well!
