An ageing activist wages a solitary struggle against the expansion of an oil refinery in his tiny fishing village. All the while the other villagers are infectiously united in their indecisiveness between sustainable change and short-term social security. A simple and charming portrait with a humorous undertone that hits the nail on the head: if we compromise on health risks and environmental pollution, we’re not going to make it.
