The film is based on the backdrop of the story of legendary „Battle of Lissa“ (1866), the first fleet battle ever involving ironclad warships, which triggered a fundamental geopolitical junction for several European nations. The story is represented as a poetic and personal tale full of action and wonder in a mosaic of visual, historical, anthropological and mythological references. The underwater photography work of the highest technical value sheds a new light on the spirit of underwater exploration and carries out a deep and complex dive of significant scientific value on a legendary wreck lost in the depths of the Adriatic sea.
