With his Italian ex-wife, Roberta, about to take their five-year-old son, Natan, to live with her in Rome, Jorge brings the boy with him on one last trip to Banco Chinchorro, a pristine coral reef off Mexico’s Yucatán coast. Under the watchful, caring eye of his father (who himself benefits from the mentoring presence of Matraca, an older fisherman), Natan learns to fish, befriends a friendly egret, and comes to appreciate the work and the rewards of such an elemental existence, idyllic in its simplicity.
